Hund (card game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hund is a card game, which is especially common in Silesia but not well known in Germany. It is played between four players using a standard French pack of 52 cards (from 2 to Ace minus the Jokers). The aim of the game is to get rid of all one's cards as quickly as possible to one's opponents. The game has no winner, only a loser: when one player has all the cards in hand, that player loses the game and is known as the "dog" (Hund) hence the name of the game.
