I was told that
Jass is a popular family of
swiss card games. It is a four person game similar to
pinochle, but has more cards and a little more variability. The general rules can be found
here and the rules for the version I am trying to learn,
Schieber, can be found
here.
The picture below shows the ace and face cards from the shields suit.

We have not played yet, but I hope to play soon.
Jass is really fun once you can figure out all of the rules. A couple of Swiss friends taught me the game but I don't know that I could explain it on my own to someone.
