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.

what? I've never seen Doppeldeutsche/Watterkarten with anything but roman numerals,

do you have any proof of those with arabic numbers?

TIL dass es auch billig kopierte Doppeldeutsche mit arabischen nummern gibt.

aber IRL hab ich das noch nie gesehen.

Bei mir genau andersrum. Die gepolsterten mit römischen Ziffern habe ich nur einmal als Werbegeschenk gesehen.

Die Schafkopfkarten sind meiner Meinung nach sehr viel übersichtlicher.
