Jack–Nine card games

The Jack–Nine card games, also known as the Jass group, form a family of trick-taking games in which the jack (jass) and nine (manille) of the trump suit are the highest-ranking trumps, and the tens and aces of all suits are the next most valuable cards. Games in this family are typically played by 2 or 4 players with 32 French-suited cards. The Jack–Nine group is a subfamily of the Marriage group of card games which in turn is a sub-family of the Ace-Ten group that is very popular in most of Europe, but almost absent in the British Isles and Scandinavia.
