A Card Game Not Only For Children But For Adults As Well

 Therefore, adult games are more concentrated on peaceful rest. Inevitably, card games became a prominent part of the popular games adults play. There are a lot of card games famous all over the world, but klaverjassen is considered to be the most beloved by almost all European nations.

Originated in 1890s in Netherlands, klaverjassen has passed a long way to get beloved by millions of people. Now klaverjassen is widely played not only at homes, but everywhere people have rest: in social clubs and pubs, as well as in cafes.

Simple Rules

The rules of klaverjassen are very simple, hence everybody can quickly learn how to play it and start winning soon. Klaverjassen is referred to trick-taking card games, which means the main aim of the player is to win tricks, or hands. There is a need to have four players to play klaverjassen, but today you can play even klaverjassen for three.

Klaverjassen is played in pairs, and each pair has to score more points to win. There is a certain amount of points received for wining a certain hand (each game has 16 hands) and the established amount of points received for winning the hand with certain card. Moreover, players can set their own scoring rules and set so-called bonus points, when the pair which lost all tricks can get some points. The points are often added for winning several hands one by one, or the first and last one.

Bulk of Joy

But playing the game is not the most important aim of klaverjassen. It presupposes close communication between the players during the game. As the players of one pair sit one opposite another, they need to develop their own signaling system to win more tricks. It’s necessary to know the weaknesses of your partner to win more tricks and score more. Therefore, playing klaverjassen encourages people to communicate better and closer. Even when playing with strangers it is easy to turn them into friends and continue communication after the game is finished.

So, if you have a significant amount of spare time and you don’t know what to do, don’t hesitate to call your friends and play klaverjassen or go out to find partners. The game will surely provide you lots of joy and fun.
