Zwanzigerrufen

Zwanzigerrufen is designed for four players. It belongs to the Austrian Tarock family, where players use a dedicated Tarock deck rather than a standard 52-card pack.

The name points to the game's focus on the high-scoring twenty cards in the Tarock deck. Capturing these valuable cards is a central objective during play.

You need an Austrian Tarock deck, not an ordinary poker deck. Tarock cards include permanent trump cards alongside the suit cards, which creates the game's distinctive scoring and trick structure.

Its defining feature is the importance given to capturing the twenty cards. Other Austrian Tarock variants may emphasize different contracts, partnerships, or scoring goals, while Zwanzigerrufen makes these high-value cards central.
