Description
Tuppen is a popular trick-taking game in parts of Germany and the Nethelands (Limburg and Noord Brabant). It is played with a 32-card deck, the order of cards being J (low),Q ,K ,A ,7 ,8 ,9 ,10 (high). Each hand consists of four tricks, players must follow suit if able and the player who takes the last trick wins. Players accumulate points whenever they lose a hand, and are eliminated at seven points. Dice are commonly used to keep track of the score. The initial value of each hand is one point. It can be "knocked" (raised) by one point at any time by any player, except that no player may knock twice in a row. Players can either accept a raise or fold and take the lower number of points. Upon reaching six points a player is in "poverty" and subsequent hands are worth at least two points.
