Bruus

Bruus, formerly Brusbart, is an old German card game for 4 players that is still played in North Frisia. The game is descended from the oldest known card game in Europe, Karnöffel, a fact testified by its unusual card ranking and lack of a uniform trump suit. Bruus is designed for four players and may be played with 32 or 36 cards of a French pack, each of the four suits comprising the cards 6-10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. In the 32-card game, the Sixes are removed. Brus is one of a family of games descended from Karnöffel, the oldest European card game with a continuous tradition of play down to the present day. These games are characterised by "the wildly disturbed ranking order in the chosen suit and particularly by the special role of the chosen Seven." Close relatives include Russian Bruzbart or Dulya, Livonian Brusbart, Polish Druzbart, Danish and Estonian Brus and Greenlandic Voormsi. More distant cousins include Faroese Styrivoltur and Schleswig Knüffeln.
