Mauscheln
Mauscheln, also Maus or Vierblatt, is a gambling card game that resembles Tippen, which is commonly played in Germany and the countries of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire. Background Origin of the name The name Mauscheln means something like "(secretive) talk". According to ''Meyers Konversationslexikon'' of 1885 to 1892 the word ''Mauschel'' is derived from the Hebrew word ''moscheh'' " Moses", in Ashkenazi Herbrew ''Mausche, Mousche,'' and was a nickname for Jews; in Old German ''mauscheln'' means something like "speak with a Jewish accent" or haggle". The word first surfaced in the 17th century.Isabel Enzenbach: ''Mauscheln.'' In: Wolfgang Benz (ed.): ''Handbuch des Antisemitismus.'' Vol. 3: ''Begriffe, Ideologien, Theorien.'' De Gruyter Saur, Berlin 2008, ISBN 978-3-598-24074-4, p. 205 (retrieved via De Gruyter Online). Today ''mauscheln'' is a synonym for "scheme", "wheel and deal", "wangle" or "diddle". Other names for the game include Anschlagen (in Tyrol and Lower Au ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tippen
Tippen, also known as Dreiblatt, Dreikart, Drei Karten, Dreekort, Kleinpréférence or Labet, is an historical German 3-card, plain-trick game which was popular as a gambling game for three or more players. The Danish version of the game was known as Trekort and more elaborate Swedish variants include Knack and Köpknack. It appears to be related to the English game of 3-Card Loo. It was banned as a gambling game in some places. History and etymology The game was described in 19th century anthologies and encyclopedias but appears related to 3-card Loo, which was already described in the 18th century. In some locations the game was illegal. Dreiblatt is recorded as early as 1807 as a gambling game in which players received three cards, and Tippen is mentioned in 1790 as a gambling game similar to Grobhäusern and Trischak,Förster, Thomas (1790), ''Thomas Försters Erzählungen von seinen Reisen in allen vier Welttheilen.''

Mistigri (card Game)
Mistigri, historically Pamphile, is an old, French, trick-taking card game for three or four players that has elements reminiscent of poker. It is a member of the Rams family of games and, although it is a gambling game, often played for small stakes, it is also suitable as a party game or as a family game with children from the age of 12 upwards. Name Mistigri is a variant of ''Mouche'' or ''Lenterlu'' and a cousin of the English Lanterloo. It is known in Germany as Mönch ("Monk"), possibly a corruption of the French ''Mouche'' as ''Monche'' was the old German for monk. Meyer certainly equates it to ''Mouche'', ''Lenturla'' and ''Pamphile'', while Grupp also states that it is known as ''Trente et un'' ("Thirty-One") in French, but Méry's research shows that Mistigri was derived from ''Mouche'' (which was also called ''Lenturlu'') and was first named ''Pamphile''. It is related to the historical card game of Tippen. The game is named after the "mistigri" (French for "pussy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Contra (card Game)
Kontraspiel, also called Contra, is a German 5-card plain-trick game for four individual players using 24 cards. Eldest hand has the first right to accept or make trumps. The Unters of Acorns and Leaves (the equivalent of the two black Jacks) are permanent highest trumps, the ''Wenzels''. Kontraspiel is similar to the Scandinavian game Polskpas and is recorded as early as 1811. History The earliest mention of Contra appears in a list of games in a 1755 poem. In 1773 it is described as one of the games played with "German cards" i.e. a 32-card German-suited pack, and, in 1786 it was reported that, along with Trischaken, it was a very popular game among the peasants in German-speaking lands.Cella, Johann Jakob''Freymüthige Aufsätze'' Vol. 3.

First World War
World War I (28 July 1914 11 November 1918), often abbreviated as WWI, was one of the deadliest global conflicts in history. Belligerents included much of Europe, the Russian Empire, the United States, and the Ottoman Empire, with fighting occurring throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia. An estimated 9 million soldiers were killed in combat, plus another 23 million wounded, while 5 million civilians died as a result of military action, hunger, and disease. Millions more died in genocides within the Ottoman Empire and in the 1918 influenza pandemic, which was exacerbated by the movement of combatants during the war. Prior to 1914, the European great powers were divided between the Triple Entente (comprising France, Russia, and Britain) and the Triple Alliance (containing Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy). Tensions in the Balkans came to a head on 28 June 1914, following the assassination of Arch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vorarlberg
Vorarlberg ( , ; gsw, label= Vorarlbergisch, Vorarlbearg, , or ) is the westernmost state () of Austria. It has the second-smallest geographical area after Vienna and, although it also has the second-smallest population, it is the state with the second-highest population density (also after Vienna). It borders three countries: Germany (Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg via Lake Constance), Switzerland (Grisons and St. Gallen), and Liechtenstein. The only Austrian state that shares a border with Vorarlberg is Tyrol, to the east. The capital of Vorarlberg is Bregenz (29,698 inhabitants), although Dornbirn (49,845 inhabitants) and Feldkirch (34,192 inhabitants) have larger populations. Vorarlberg is also the only state in Austria in which the local dialect is not Austro-Bavarian, but rather an Alemannic dialect; it therefore has much more in common culturally with (historically) Alemannic-speaking German-speaking Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Baden-Württemberg, Bavarian Swabia, and Als ...

Weli
The ''Weli'', formerly ''Welli'', is a playing card used in the Salzburg and William Tell card decks, which are Austrian regional patterns of the German-suited playing cards. It has the value of 6 of Bells and, in the South Tyrol variant of the card game, Watten, it is the only 6 used and can, in addition to its own suit of Bells, join the trump suits of Acorns, Hearts and Leaves. In all other variants of Watten, the 7 of Bells is the ''Weli''. History The ''Weli'' is also often called the ''Welli'' or ''Belli'' and, dialectically, the ''Wöli'', ''Wöüli'', ''Bölle'' or ''Belle''. The name ''Weli'' probably comes from the Italian word ''belli'', which means "bells". Historically the ''Weli'' is first recorded in the early 1850s, when a Bozen card manufacturer inscribed ''WELLI'' onto the six of bells. As early as 1855, the ''Weli'' was integrated in the Salzburg pattern as the 6 of Bells. The gravestone appearing in many depictions is probably the grave of the Apostle P ...
