Full of dog

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The full dog ; the eight leaves from a deck of cards from 1828

Voller Hund , in Austria also probably Hundern or Hundspiel , is a card game of German origin that is suitable for children. The name is derived from the dog , namely the leaf eight, which on old German playing cards represented a dog.

Rules of the game

The rules of the game based on Gööck are as follows:

You need the usual French playing cards of 32 cards or the game of Skat. With French cards, the Pikacht is the dog instead of the Laubacht. The aim is to hand in the cards as quickly as possible. The last player left with cards is the loser.

It doesn't matter whether all players have the same number of cards or not. The player with the dog must play it face up on the table. The next player (to the left of the lead player) now has to add an eight and then any card. If he doesn't mind, he has to pass. In turn, players must always play two cards: the first must be a card of the same rank; the second can be any card. If he does not have a card of the same value, he must pick up all the open cards except the dog and add them to his hand. You continue playing like this until only one player has cards in hand. That's the loser or the dog .
