Card games in Luxembourg

This page is part of the National and Regional Card Games Index of the Card Games Web Site.

Although some German and Belgian games are played, Luxembourg also has its own card game tradition. It seems that the characteristic games are:

• Mënsch - which is similar to the Canadian game Mensch - the Canadian game must be derived from the Luxembourg version.
• Kujong, Kuller, Konter a Midd, Trijhak: the descriptions I have seen of these are fragmentary - it is unclear whether they are separate games, or alternative names for one game. Konter a Midd is said to be similar to Mënsch, but played with only 24 cards instead of 32 (the sevens and eights are not used).
• Zwéck is a gambling game in which three cards are dealt to each player - almost certainly a version of the German / Austrian game Zwicken.

I would be grateful if anyone could provide me with more specific information about Luxembourg card games.
