Definition & Bedeutung von "Herzeln"

What is "Herzeln"?

Herzeln is a traditional Austrian card game played with a 20-card deck, often used in regional areas of Austria. The game is typically played by two to four players, and the goal is to score the fewest points. The deck consists of cards from 7 to 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace in all four suits. The game is played in rounds, where players must follow the lead suit if possible. Points are scored based on the cards left in players' hands, with face cards and Aces carrying higher point values. Herzeln is a trick-taking game that requires strategy, memory, and careful card management to avoid accumulating too many points. The game ends when a player reaches a set number of points, and the player with the lowest total wins.
