Alsós

Alsós, also called Vannak or Kaláber, is a Hungarian trick-taking card game belonging to the Jass family, the central European card game tradition that also produced Klaberjass. The game folds in bidding elements borrowed from Tarot-style Hungarian card games, setting it apart from plainer Jass variants played elsewhere in the region. It is treated in card game literature as a direct variation of Klaberjass, adapted to Hungarian rules and naming. The source article is brief, so its exact player count and founding date are not established from it; what is documented is its family placement among Jass games and its bidding mechanic drawn from Tarot play.
