User testimonial
Finally, a Jass game that focuses on what matters.
If you know Schieber or Coiffeur and simply want to enjoy a good game, you’re in the right place. The controls are refreshingly clear, the hand-painted German-Swiss deck has character, and both your partner and your opponents play at a pleasingly challenging level.
I particularly like that this Jass game isn’t overloaded with unnecessary effects or animations. It’s the cards that count, not the trimmings.
It annoys me that I can’t play this game on my iPhone. There, I always have Mrs Häfliger as my partner.
Why this Jass exists.
I wanted a Jass game where my partner and opponents play intelligently. With feedback from experienced Jass players, I keep improving its playing strength.
Schieber or Coiffeur.
Two formats, the same priorities: a capable partner, strong opponents and an interface that doesn’t get between you and the game.
