You now understand how this country developed a card game with a deck that only has 36 cards, a gadzillion dozen ways to complicate the rules, not the least of which has the 9 and jack being magic, but the highest scoring card being easily beaten by rank of other cards.
I speak of course, of Jass. Do they still televise games on Sunday afternoons? Cliff's grandmother was a grand champion - but I often use it as an example of what people will do with long, cold nights isolated from most of the world...in houses too small to hold the people you get from fucking the nights away.
That said, I'd love to play it again.
Switzerland with internet. When I was there last, it was dialup or nothing - and we didn't get a phone in our apartment for six weeks as it was. Hence, what?
