Klaverjassen – What is Changed?

There are a lot of details that can possibly be changed in klaverjassen, like the amount of points to score to win the game. However, there are a few major variants of klaverjassen, named after the cities they originated. Rotterdam and Amsterdam klaverjassen are mostly often played by Dutch.

The differences between them are slight enough. For example, what about using trumps in the game? Rotterdam klaverjassen supposes a player to use trump if he or she cannot suit the trick. Usually you are also expected to head the trick, even if your partner is winning it.

On the other hand, Amsterdam klaverjassen allows using trumping only if there is no other way out. For example, when you cannot suit the trick, your partner is losing it, and you have a trump. In this case it’s really better for you to use a trump and head a trick.

Certainly, not winning matters in klaverjassen. The process of playing is much better as it brings more joy and satisfaction to players than actually the result of the play. Perhaps, this is a clue to the popularity of klaverjassen in Netherlands.
