Gämsh Alpin

secret team signals

Teams of two players play for card quartets of three Day cards and one Night card; a variant adds Föhn cards with special effects.

Each team agrees on a secret signal before the game starts, it can be a word, a gesture or a topic but it must be something that the other players can spot; you may give false signals during the game. You are dealt four cards; another four cards are displayed on the table. All players swap cards simultaneously and as quickly as possible, card from hand against card from the table. If you have a quartet, you give the secret signal - if your partner spots it, he announces it with Gämsh for one point; if he also holds a quartet, he calls Doppel-Gämsh for two points. When an opponent spots your signal faster, he calls Gegen-Gämsh to announce your quartet and scores one point. With Ausgegegämsht! you can announce the signal of team without it being given and score three points.

Of course, after a call the respective hand cards must be shown and then table cards and cards in hand are replaced. Föhn cards are in effect on the table: Wachsamer Wildhüter - you cannot swap Night cards. Schlauer Bauer - When you hit him when announcing Gämsh or Doppel-Gämsh, he turns a triplet of your partner into a quartet. Flotte Vesper - no swapping of cards, the other three cards are hit and four new ones are laid out. Wilder Stier - When he is hit, the table cards are replaced. When a team has collected nine points, the game ends and the team with most points wins.

Chaotic, cute, fast - and yet you must pay close attention and try not to fall for bluffs with wrong secret signals. Super family fun!
