Klaverjassen Card Game
Klaverjassen is a Dutch four-player trick-taking card game. It uses the piquet deck of playing cards. It is one of the most popular card games in the Netherlands, traditionally played in cafes and social clubs. The game is also very popular in South Africa and it was brought there by the Dutch settlers. Klaverjassen has been played in the Netherlands since the 1600s and it is said that the French Belote derives from it. The game is very addictive and requires technical skill, luck and a sense for bluffing.
How to play Klaverjassen
The game is played in two teams. Each partner is situated in front of his teammate.
- His partner has played the highest ranking card in the trick – the player can give any card he wants.
- An opponent has played the highest ranking card in the trick and the player has trumps – the player is obliged to play a trump card.
- An opponent has played the highest ranking card in the trick, but the player has no trumps – the player can give any card he wants.
At the end of each trick, the team that played the highest ranking card from the asked suit or the highest ranked trump card wins the trick and scores the points.

Only if your hand has lower trump cards you can undertrump. In the rest of the cases if the opposite team is winning with trump you must play a higher trump.
