Lorum (card game)

Lorum, or lorum, is an old, Hungarian, compendium card game for four players. Although it is the ancestor of the French game barbu, it is still played today. It uses a German-suited pack, either the Hungarian William Tell pattern or the German pattern, of 32 cards, and comprises eight individual contracts, each with different rules, each of which is played four times, so that a session consists of a total of 32 individual games and lasts about one and a half hours.
