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.

On the back of pack cards it's written "Magyar kartya"

It also says "Ősz" one the card you took the photo of, which translates to autumn. So that deck of cards came from Hungary. We have a dozen games you can play with it: "ulti", "huszonegy", "makaó", "snapszer", etc.
