Zwicker, a German card game that is very popular, is often played in Schleswig-Holstein (North Germany), where it was first developed. This is an old game, whose origins are likely to be in the 1930s. The rules are fairly consistent across all versions of the game and very similar in their core. Each player gets one card, which is placed face down on a rectangular table. The deck is then topped with four cards, which are face-down.
Each player receives three cards from the discard pile. These cards can be used to make the first move. Any card that does not have a face-up card must be turned over. The players can place their cards in any direction they like, but there may be counters or other players. If there are still cards to play, the active player may decide which direction the table will be turned in. This could include going counter-clockwise or clockwise. The direction chosen by the active player (who has cards left to play) does not have to match the direction that the other players were facing at the time the last card was discarded. All 14 players can move in the same direction.
The standard Zwicker card game has 14 starting cards. They are placed in the middle of the table, in the form of a square. Four diagonal columns divide them horizontally. Each player starts the game with seven cards facing up, in the form of a square. The "leader" is the player with the most cards from the start hand. If there is a draw, the player with the most cards remaining is the winner.
In the Zwicker standard version, jokers can be played separately. Jokers are only allowed after the last card has been discarded in the standard version. Jokers can be used by any player in the joker version. This means that even if someone has a joker, anyone can use it. However, it will still count as one card for the player.
Texas Holdem is a version of the game where each player receives seven cards face-down. The tableau has two cards facing up. Each of the two players may turn one card face-up in the middle of the tableau. At the beginning of the hand, no player can have more than seven cards. Jokers can only be played in the middle of the game.
The seven cards are dealt and the players face seven cards again. Four of these cards are already played. Three of the four players receive a straight flush. One card is flipped face-up and marked with a "J" in front. This card is known as the Schleswig-Holstein in honor to the place where the game was created.
The Schleswig-Holstein card can be compared to the standard deck of card. This will allow the players to decide which deck is less. Players will also be able determine which hand is the winning one. The winner will be determined by matching the most cards to the colors in the jokers. All other pairs will be eliminated. The game is won by the player who has the best hand after all pairs have been eliminated.
These two decks can be used to replace the regular decks. Zwicker jokers match the colors of cards already dealt. After the jokers have been matched, players can use the jokers to finish their betting rounds. The jokers may not match the cards in the deck. If this happens, the player who held the last spot in the betting round can remove the card and get the replacement card. This allows you to play even if you don't want to place a bet or wait for the correct card to arrive.
