Schnopsn is the app version of Schnapsen (Sixty-Six / 66), Austria's most-loved trick-taking card game – free on phone, tablet and PC. Play classic two-player Schnapsen the way you would at the tavern table: live online against real opponents from Austria, Hungary, Germany and across Europe, or offline against the computer to sharpen your tactics. 66 is easy to learn but tactically deep – remember the cards, call your 20s and 40s, close the talon at the right moment and be first to 66 points. The one differentiator: a huge, active Schnapsen community with daily, weekly and monthly tournaments, ELO leaderboards and a dedicated team-league mode.
Also known as: Schnapsen, Sechsundsechzig, Sixty-Six, 66, Snapszer, Snapszli, Cruce, Šnaps, Šnops, Snops, Santase, Soixante-six

How to play
- Deck & cards: Two-player Schnapsen uses 20 cards. Values: Ace = 11, Ten = 10, King = 4, Queen = 3, Jack = 2. Goal: be first to 66 points.
- Deal: Each player gets five cards. The top card of the stock is turned face-up to set the trump suit; the remaining stock (talon) is placed crosswise over it.
- Lead: The non-dealer leads the first trick. While the talon is open, you do not have to follow suit.
- Winning a trick: Highest card of the led suit wins, unless a trump was played – then the highest trump wins.
- Marriages (20 / 40): Holding King + Queen of the same suit lets you call 20 (or 40 in the trump suit) when you play one of those two cards.
- Trump-Jack swap: You may swap the Jack of trumps for the face-up trump card (optionally automatic).
- Closing (zudrehen): You can close the talon; from then on you must follow suit and no more cards are drawn. Reaching 66 wins the deal.
- Folding: Throwing your hand for the deal lets the opponent immediately score 66 and you lose that deal.
- Scoring (game points): On reaching 66 you score 1 game point if the opponent has 33+ card points; 2 if the opponent took at least one trick but has 0–32; 3 if the opponent took no trick at all. A run of deals makes up a Bummerl.
Frequently asked questions
Is Schnopsn free?
Yes. It is a free online card game, playable online and offline at no cost. Ad-free and Premium are optional.
Are there ads – and what is the difference between "Ad-free" and "Premium"?
The free version shows ads (e.g. after games). Ad-free removes the ads. Premium (30 days or 1 year) is ad-free AND grants double daily credits plus premium features (hide game history, custom backgrounds, images in messages).
Can I play offline / against the computer?
Yes. Offline mode lets you practice against the AI for free, with no connection and no waiting.
How does multiplayer / playing with friends work?
Online mode pits you live against real players. Challenge friends directly to a Bummerl, join a tournament via tournament code, or team up in a league season in team mode.
What are tournament and team modes?
Daily, weekly and monthly tournaments with leaderboards. In team mode you create or join a team (5–20 players) and play a 10-day league season (with a 4-day Pre-Season) for the title.
I'm missing credits / didn't get my daily reward — what do I do?
Daily credits come from the daily wheel/bonus (doubled with Premium). If a reward wasn't credited, contact us via in-app Help/Support and it can be checked and corrected.
My account was locked / I can't log in — why?
Locks usually result from rule violations or community protection. If you think it's a mistake, contact in-app support; the case can be reviewed and a lock lifted if warranted.
My opponent quit / the AI game froze — do I lose points?
If an opponent quits mid-Bummerl the deal is scored normally. For a frozen game or wrongly deducted points, contact support — Bummerl can be neutralized when a technical fault is confirmed.
