If you like pinochle, you will also enjoy Schnapsen. This app is an implementation of the two-player card game Schnapsen where you play against a computer opponent. Win tricks, play marriages (20, 40), close the hand, view taken tricks, and exchange your trump jack for the shown trump card to help you win hands to score game points. Reduce your game score to 0 to win the game and give your opponent a Bummerl before your opponent can give one to you!

Features:
- HD Retina graphics.
- Choice between large print and standard playing cards.
- Optional game sounds.
- 3 skill levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Expert) that dictate the level of play for the computer opponent.
- Animated shuffle and deal, which you can bypass by tapping the screen.
- Play marriages (king and queen of the same suit) for 20 points.
