Despite its name, German Whist is a trick-taking game of British origin.
A round consists of two phases: during the first phase, players play tricks to improve their hand.
During the second phase, players play out the hand they built and compete for the score.

Sergeant Major (also known as 8-5-3, 3-5-8 or 9-5-2) is a trick-taking traditional card game for 3 players using a standard 52 card deck.
This game takes its name from its popularity among members of Britain's Royal Air Force.
Each player has a different number of target tricks. Targets are determined by each player's seat for the round.
From the second round, each player exceeded the target gives away unwanted cards per round score to another player who failed to meet the target and take their highest cards of the same suit.

Toepen (also known as Tuppen or other names) is a Dutch bluffing trick-taking game.
The player who takes the last trick wins the round. Players lose lives when they lose or fold a hand.

Open Face Chinese Poker is a Finnish variant of Chinese Poker where players receive five cards to start and then additional cards at a time until each player has a 13-card hand.
Each player must use 13 cards consisting of 3 cards in the top hand, 5 cards in the middle hand, and 5 cards in the bottom hand. The bottom hand must be stronger than or equal to the middle hand, and the middle hand must be stronger than or equal to the top hand.

Mighty is a trick-taking game invented by Korean college students which is similar to Napoleon, a Japanese trick-taking game.
In each hand, the highest bidder chooses a partner by calling a card, and these two players try to take enough of the scoring cards (A, K, Q, J, 10) to fulfill the bid.

Please try the games and have fun :)
