| | Customs & Traditions in Switzerland: Jass (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | To ensure the survival of the traditions of Keisere, Trämpne and Flüssle, prize competitions are staged. |
 | | Jass is played by two to four players, or occasionally six players, with 36 cards of four colours and nine cards of each colour, namely the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Banner (or Ten), Nine, Eight, Seven and Six. |
 | | Whenever it is someone’s turn to call the trump colour and they don’t have a good hand (several cards of the same colour), they pass the decision on to their partner. |
