The popular card game - Now as an Alexa Skill. Choose the right card one by one before Alexa reaches 66 points.
They play against Alexa, with the usual schnapps rules:
- It is played with 20 cards. Colors are: spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts. Each color uses Ace, Ten, King, Queen and Jack. - Each player starts with five cards. A Trumpf card is open at the stack, all other cards are hidden in the stack. - Attempts are made to collect tricks. A trick is scored when you play the higher card of a suit or a trump card, with 2 trump cards also counting the value. After playing, everyone draws a card until the stack is used up. - The goal is to get more than 66 trick points in one round. Eyes are the counted valence of the collected stitches. The valences are Ace: 11, Ten: 10, King: 4, Queen: 3, Jack: 2.
The game The first player plays for the first trick. At the beginning of the game there is neither color nor stitch compulsion: The divider can either sting with a higher card of the same suit or a trump - in this case he wins the trick. He can also discard any card and leave the trick. The player who won the trick takes the top card of the talon, his opponent the next. After both players have added five more to their hand, the winner of the trick plays the next trick. In this way, the game continues until the Talon is used up - unless a player previously reported 66 points or turns. If the Talon is used up or if it was turned off, from this time on color and Stichzwang is valid; that is, a player must, when it is his turn: sting with a higher card of the perceived color. If he can not do that, he has to Give a lower card to the perceived color. If that is not possible, he must sting with a trump card, and if that does not happen, discard any other card. Color compulsion is always necessary Sting compulsion: It is not allowed to sting with a trump card, if one can serve the hinted color.

Alexa helps you to keep an eye on your cards. During the game you can ask them which cards you still have. Although Alexa knows your cards, she does not use this knowledge against you.
Can you beat Alexa at the card game? Just try it. Some examples of instructions that Alexa understands are: - "New game" - "More Time" - "hearts king" - "King of Hearts" - "what are my cards?" - "swap trumps" - "close the deck" - "Queen of Spades" - "Twenty" - "I say forty" - "Change mode"
If you need more time to think you can do this with the Command "More Time". Alexa will then play a short melody so that you can think about your next move.
You can always change the difficulty mode with the command "change mode". Alexa will then become a heavier opponent. After each game you collect points for the global ranking. If you change the mode, count them twice.
