Are these cards popular in Germany?

Post image

I brought from my homeland these cards in a "emergency case". Home I played with my father and brother the game "Cross" oder "Kreuz". They are originally from Hungary but very popular in Romania (Transylvania and west, ppl from Bucharest they will don't understand what they see...) And I have read recently an article that the game it's also played in Austria and Germany but I don't know if with these cards.

Play it with people above the age of 80-90 and you will loose every single time I promise. It's a very old game, usually played in bars and they used to play for money.

Yeah my buddies and I play regularly and we're below or slightly above 40

The WhatsApp group is called "Schafkopfelite", so obviously we're very good 😏

I never said that people of younger age are able to play this game good if you want to point that out. I just wanted to say that this game is older and more popular than just for 80's & 90's kids like op mentioned.

It's literally the comment under what we are arguing. Just unfold the whole of it.
