Whether in the ski hut, in the hotel or after an action-packed day on the piste - these five card games guarantee fun for you and your group.
Imagine you're sitting in a cosy hut after a long day of skiing. Your ski boots are off, the hot chocolate is steaming in front of you and the evening sun is bathing the mountains in a warm light. What's missing now? A game that will keep you and your family entertained - without taking up too much space in your luggage. Whether you're in the mood for strategy, creativity or just a round of fun: card games are not only small and light, but also incredibly versatile. Here are five games that are guaranteed to enrich your skiing holiday.
Wizard
The rules are simple, yet there is a lot of tactics behind the game. The aim is to predict exactly how many tricks you will take before each round. But be careful: too many or too few tricks will cost you valuable points. An exciting mix of luck and strategy.
3 to 6 people, from 10 years, playing time approx. 45 minutes
Skull King
Do you like the challenge of Wizard, but want more excitement? Then Skull King is perfect for you! The game brings a refreshing change to the classic trick-taking game with pirates, mermaids and the eponymous Skull King. With clever moves and the right cards, you can surprise the others and secure important points.
2 to 8 people, from 8 years, playing time approx. 30 minutes
Top Ten
Laughter is guaranteed! Top Ten is all about creativity and team spirit. You draw a card with a question or task and everyone in the round has to give an answer that matches a certain scale. The trick is to assess each other and make the group smile. The perfect game to lighten the mood in the ski hut.
4 to 9 people, from 12 years, playing time approx. 30 minutes
Tichu
The cult game Tichu by Swiss author Urs Hostettler is a must-have for strategy fans. The game is played in two teams. The aim is to be the first to discard all cards and collect points. Thanks to special cards such as the dragon or phoenix card, Tichu offers plenty of tactical depth. Perfect for long evenings with friends.
4 people, from 10 years, playing time approx. 60 minutes
Jass cards
A classic that always works: With Jass cards, you can play a variety of games - from Tschau Sepp and Hose Abe to the traditional Schieber. Looking for something new? Try the Italian Scopa with Neapolitan Jass cards!
