Bohemian tailor is traditionally played with a German card sheet of 32 cards ( Skat sheet ). Alternatively, however, a French sheet can also be used.
Style of play
After the cards have been shuffled, each player receives six cards in two courses of three cards each. The remaining cards are placed face down on the table as a talon .
The dealer's opponent begins the game and lays out one of his hand cards face up. The dealer now tries to stab that card by placing the next higher-ranking card on it. The card rank is in descending order in the German hand Daus , König, Ober and Unter or in the French hand Ace, King, Queen and Jack, followed by the numerical values 10, 9, 8 and 7. There are no trump cards . If the player succeeds, he can take over the game with the trick, so he is the player himself in the next round. According to this rule, there is no obligation to operate and there is also no obligation to take over a game if you could.
The respective winner takes the trick, then both players, beginning with the winner, draw one card each from the talon and then the next round begins. The game continues accordingly until all cards are used up.
Stitch variant
According to another rule variant of the game, a card can be picked from any higher-ranking card. Here must be played color served principle, it must therefore a card of the same color will be played when the player has on hand. If another player cannot serve, he must discard any other card.
Rating
After all cards have been played, the tricks are scored. The points (eyes) of the playing cards are not counted, but the number of picture cards, which in this game include doubles or aces, king, upper or queen, under or jack and ten. A total of 20 picture cards are in play. If a player could win eleven of those twenty cards, he simply won. If he manages to win 16 of the picture cards and use it to play his opponent Schneider , he wins twice, and if the opponent does not have any picture cards (black) and the winner wins 20 picture cards, even three times.
The winnings are noted and evaluated after a specified time or number of laps.
strategy
Since each card can only be picked by one other card, it is strategically important that the other players remember the cards that have already fallen and above all the picture cards. It is safe to play cards if the higher card required for tripping has already fallen or is in your own hand. At the same time, the player in the hindquarters should only discard those cards that cannot secure a trick for him because the lower card has already fallen or he is holding it in hand.
By changing the dealer after each game, it is ensured that the advantage of the lead changes with each game.

The game was probably developed in Bohemia and has spread from there to southern Germany and Austria. It is traditionally played with an old German hand.
