Jass is a traditional trick-taking card game from Switzerland. It is played with two to six players using a 36-card Swiss deck (or a modified standard deck with cards 6 through Ace in each suit). The goal is to score the most points by winning tricks and forming specific card combinations.

Scoring:

1. • Cards have specific point values (e.g., Ace = 11, King = 4, Jack = 20 in trump).
   • Special combinations like sequences or marriages (King and Queen of Trump) earn bonus points.

The game continues until all tricks are played. The total score is tallied, and the player or team with the highest score wins. Jass combines strategic thinking, tactical play, and teamwork, making it a favorite across Switzerland and beyond.
