Virtual Chappe Jass

Welcome to the website of the game Chappen Jass.
The goal of the project is to create a digital version of the Swiss traditional game.
The game is a version of "Jass" and the goal is to announce the number of tricks you will win and
try to get as close as possible to the number announced to score points.
But it's not that easy, the other players have the same goal as you and they won't make your life easy, so make sure to be ready to compete.

How to Play the Game:

Once the host starts the game, the first round begins and your cards will be dealt. You will then be asked how much you want to bet. A bet represents the number of tricks you think you'll win. The total amount of predicted bets is not allowed to match the amount of cards each player gets. Therefore, the last player is at a disadvantage.

After everyone has placed a bet, you can strategically play your cards; the highest card wins the trick. If there is more than one of the highest card played, a battle is initiated. Only the considered players will play a card, the others must throw a card away. The winner will then take 2 tricks.

The next round will continue with 5 cards, after that, you will be dealt 4, then 3, then 2 cards until the last round. The last round is special; you will not be able to see your own card and have to bet regardless. Good luck!

You will only receive points for the round if you fulfill your predicted bet amount. It is completely legitimate to place a bet of 0 tricks, and if you receive 0 tricks, you will still receive points. Your points will be summed up at the end of the game.

Have fun!
