Klaberjass is a traditional trick-taking card game that originated in the Netherlands and is popular in parts of Europe, especially in Belgium and Hungary. It is typically played by two to four players using a 32-card deck, consisting of cards from 7 to Ace in the four suits. The game is played in two teams of two players, or individually, with the goal of reaching a set number of points. Points are earned by winning tricks, with specific cards, such as the trump cards, carrying higher values. Players take turns playing cards, aiming to win tricks and score through combinations like sequences or by capturing high-ranking cards. Klaberjass combines elements of strategy, skill, and memory, making it both challenging and enjoyable.
