Gaigel is factually a Swabian variant of Sixty-Six/Schnapsen. It is a German trick taking game that is best played by 4 (6) players in 2 (3) fixed partnerships, but also works well with two. There are no teams in 3-player games. It is usually played with a 48-card deck with German suits (hearts, bells, leaves, acorns), but can also be played with just the 7s, 10s, Jacks, Queens, Kings, and Aces of each of the 4 suits from 2 French-suited decks. In contrast to many other card games, tricks are played strictly counter-clockwise.
