Rules of the game. Bauernschnapsen is one of the most popular card games in Austria. It is played by 4 players in pairs - two against two. Partners are located at the table opposite each other. The game goes clockwise. A decks-to-ace deck is used. There are two types of points to be scored: for the cards collected and for the executed contract (game).

The deck is thoroughly worn by the handler and the cards are dealt in 2 rounds, first each player has 3 cards, then 2 cards. After putting three cards, the player who sits to the left of the handler must declare a trump card. If the player can not choose from three cards suitable trump suit, then he discovers any of the subsequent two cards dealt and the suit of this card becomes trump. This is called Aufschlagen.

The player who takes the bribe makes the first move in the next trick. Thus, players play all the cards (bribes).

To do this, if the player has a lady and a king in his hands on any one or trump suit, then he must first win a bribe, and then before his first move announce players to these cards, and then start a rally of any of these cards. Then the player receives for the lady and the king in a non-consecutive suit an additional 20 points, for the lady and the king in the trump suit an additional 40 points.

After all the cards are played, depending on the game, the players either count the points for the cards and if the game is executed, the players receive points for the executed game. If the partners won the auction lost the game, then this is the number of points for the game their rivals receive.
