"Schafkopf"의 정의 및 의미

What is "Schafkopf"?

Schafkopf is a traditional trick-taking card game that originated in Bavaria, Germany, in the early 19th century and remains a popular pastime there. Typically played by four players with a 32-card deck, it is considered the ancestor of many modern card games. The game involves forming two teams, often determined during the bidding phase, and aims to score points by winning tricks. Players bid for the right to set the rules of the round, such as choosing trump cards and the type of game to be played. Scoring is based on the cards won during the tricks, with certain cards carrying higher values. Schafkopf combines elements of skill, strategy, and teamwork.
