Klaverjas
Dutch card game / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Dutch four-player game. For the international two-player game, see Klaberjass. For the German three-player game also called Klabberjazz, see Klammern.
Klaverjas (Dutch: [klaːvər'jɑs] ⓘ) or Klaverjassen (Dutch: [klaːvər'jɑsən] ⓘ) is a Dutch four-player trick-taking card game that uses a Piquet pack of 32 playing cards. It is closely related to the game of Klaberjass (also known as Bela) and is one of the most popular card games in the Netherlands, traditionally played in cafes and social clubs.[1] It offers a considerable level of complexity and depth. It has numerous variants, but its basic rules are universal.
