Card games in Slovakia

(Based on information from Martin Gregor and Tomás Svoboda)

The German suited William Tell pack of 32 cards is generally used.

Games played include

• Mariáš - as in the Czech Republic, but in Slovakia it is normally played anticlockwise.
• Sedma - a trick-taking game with wild sevens
• Lórum - a trick avoidance game distantly related to the Hungarian compendium game with the same name.
• Durak - presumably similar to the Russian game
• Filo - a game of the Schafkopf group
• Preference - I am not sure what kind; perhaps similar to the Austrian form
• Šnaps - similar to Austrian Schnapsen
