German Solo is a German 8-card plain-trick game for four individual players using a 32-card piquet pack. It is essentially a simplification of Quadrille, itself a four-player adaptation of Ombre.〔.〕 As in Quadrille, players bid for the privilege of declaring trumps and deciding whether to play alone or with a partner. Along with Ombre, Tarock and Schafkopf, German Solo influenced the development of Skat.〔.〕 ==Rules== Each player receives 8 cards in batches of 3–2–3.〔〔("Solo" ) Pierer's Universal-Lexikon, Vol. 16. Altenburg 1863, pp. 263f.〕 The ''declarer'' is determined by a bidding process described below. Declarer decides which suit will be trumps, and plays either with a partner or as a soloist. Aces rank high and tens rank low. The queen of clubs or ''spadille'' is always the highest trump, and the queen of spades or ''baste'' is always the third highest trump. Both do not count as members of their natural suits. The trump seven or ''manille'' is elevated to the rank of second highest trump. Below that the cards rank normally, except for omitting the queen if it is black. Thus depending on whether the trump suit is black or red, it contains 10 or 9 cards. Black plain suits contain 7 cards, and red plain suits contain 8 cards.〔〔〔.〕 Trick-play is as in Whist. Eldest hand leads to the first trick. Players must follow suit if possible; if not they can play anything. Whoever played the highest trump, or the highest card of the suit led, wins the trick and leads to the next trick.〔〔 Declarer's party, i.e. declarer as a soloist or together with his or her partner, must win 5 of the 8 tricks. If declarer's party wins the first 5 tricks they can stop the game and get a bonus for ''prime''. If they continue playing at that point they cannot score prime, but may be able to score ''slam'' for winning all tricks.〔〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「German Solo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
