Spitzbub is a bidding and bluffing game with 66 cards: 9 times the number cards 1 to 6 and 12 jokers, which can copy any number card.
Each player has 6 cards on their hand. It is played in turn.
The player picks one or more cards from their hand and the value of the cards, e. g. two times wolf (value 3). The player must claim that all of their cards have the same value, but may lie. Jokers can adopt any value. Then the player draws up to 6 cards in hand. The player to the left may accept or reject the claim. If they accept the claim, they take the cards in their hand.
Each bid must be higher than the previous one, either with the same number of cards with a higher value or with a higher number of cards with any value.
