Davoserjazz is a simple, Danish compendium game using playing cards for three to seven people. It comprises 6 subgames, the first five of which are reverse games and the last one is a shedding game. Its name is also spelt Davoserjas, Davoserjass and Davoserjaz and means "Davos Jass" although it has no connexion with the Swiss resort of Davos nor with the Swiss card game genre of Jass.
Davoserjazz is played in many variations, and both the number of rounds and which cards are penalty cards in reverse games can vary.
The rules described are based on Dedichen (1971) and Schenkmanis (1999) which, however, vary slightly. [1] [2]
Davoserjazz is for three to seven people using a standard 52-card French-suited pack. With three, five, six and seven players, one or more cards are removed, so that each player receives the same number of cards. The cards removed are in order: ♦2, ♥2, ♠2, ♣2. [1] [2]
The cards rank is from high to low: A,K,Q,J,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2. Aces are high, except in the last subgame, Cabale.
There are six deals in Davoserjazz, each one comprising a subgame with a specific aim. In the first five, the object is to avoid getting points (penalty points). The subgames are: [1] [2]
There are different scoring systems: either the winner collects the entire pool of points or they are distributed according to an appropriate tariff.
