→ Full Doppelkopf rules · Deutsche Version
Played with 48 cards (two copies of 9 through Ace in four suits) by four players with 12 cards each. All Queens, all Jacks, all Diamonds and both tens of Hearts (Dullen) are trumps. Whoever holds a Queen of Clubs plays on the Re team — partners stay secret until a Queen of Clubs is played.
The strongest card in the game is the ten of Hearts (Dulle), followed by the four Queens and four Jacks:
| Rank (high → low) | Cards |
|---|---|
| 1 | ♥10 (Dulle, twice) |
| 2–5 | ♣Q (Alte), ♠Q, ♥Q, ♦Q |
| 6–9 | ♣J, ♠J, ♥J, ♦J |
| 10–13 | ♦A, ♦10, ♦K, ♦9 (each twice) |
Side suits rank A > 10 > K > 9 (Hearts without the 10, which is trump). Card points: Ace 11, Ten 10, King 4, Queen 3, Jack 2, Nine 0 — 240 points in total.
48 cards — a double deck with 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace in four suits; every card exists twice.
Four players in two teams; partners are determined by the two Queens of Clubs, not by seating.
The ten of Hearts. Both Dullen are the highest trumps and beat even the Queen of Clubs.
The Queen of Clubs — the second-highest trump. The two players holding the club Queens form the Re team.
The Ace of Diamonds. It is trump but easily caught: capturing an opponent's fox earns a bonus point.
With at least 121 of 240 card points. Exception: if only Kontra announced, 120 points already win for Re.
"Re" and "Kontra" each add 2 points to the game value; both must be called before playing your second card.
A trick containing at least 40 points — four Aces or Tens. It scores one extra point for the party winning the trick.
