Jass

ass is a popular Swiss card game played across the country and in Swiss communities in all corners of the world.  For many years Canberra had a strong Jass playing community, meeting fortnightly as part of Canberra Swiss Club activities.  These social gatherings have culminated in a ‘Jass Tournament’ at the end of the year. 

Here are the Jass Rules used in Canberra Jass_Rules_Canberra

Please find here the basic principles of Jass, with rules of other variations of the game:

In recent years and for various reasons, the regular playing nights have come to a halt.  Some members continue playing the game privately, and others would like to continue playing on a regular basis.  If you are interested to either learn or play the Jass game, please contact any of the committee members or write an email to canberraswissclub@gmail.com

If there is enough interest, the committee considers restarting a regular Jass playing event.  Below are the winners of past tournaments.
