| | Playing Cards - general rules that apply to all card games |
 | | Although it is possible that early German decks did have a card bearing the numeral I, in effect an ace, there are no records of it. |
 | | However, after the aces became the highest ranking cards in French decks the same thing eventually happened to the II (dueces) in German decks; these dueces were later mistaken for aces and are played as aces in many younger games that use stripped German decks. |
 | | For the purpose of our description we will use a French-suited stripped deck of 48 cards, consisting of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. Karnöffel is a partnership game. |
