About the game
Zwickern or Zwicker is a German fishing card game for two to eight players played in Schleswig-Holstein in North Germany. Its rules first appeared in 1930. It has been described as "a simpler and jollier version of Cassino", which is "exciting and entertaining" and easy to learn. German author, Hans Fallada, who learned it in while in jail at Neumünster, called it "a rather cunning farmer's game from Holstein." The feature that makes it unique among fishing games is its use of up to 6 Jokers.More from Queen Games
