{"product_id":"kaiser","title":"Kaiser","description":"\u003cp\u003eKaiser is a Canadian trick-taking card game for four played in partnerships.  The game uses a 32-card French-suited deck with a tweaked distribution: AKQJT98 in all suits, plus 7♣, 7♦, 5♥, and 3♠.\n\nBids are made for how many tricks will be taken, and the winner names the trump suit. Points are added or subtracted depending on whether the bid is made. Each trick is worth a point. Winning the 5♥ or 3♠ is worth +5 or -3, respectively.\n\nThe game has been around for at least 40 years and it is often believed that it has its origins in the Ukrainian culture, possibly being brought over by immigrants to Canada. The Pagat database and newer research indicate that it was introduced in the 1920s or 1930s and is a version of the traditional card-games Three-spot and Troika, but was re-named with the influence of the card game Joffre that was originally called \"Shoo le Kaiser\".\n\nRe-implementation of:\n\n     Joffre\n     Lost Heir\n\n\n(Kaiser has absolutely no connection with the ancient Swiss card game called Kaiserspiel or Kaiserjass.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.80 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e (Uncredited)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1965\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"(Public Domain)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51925716599000,"sku":"SB-4CF024DF3830-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/fulhb65qnjymqw4oywi63ntrn4jn.jpg?v=1785458965","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/kaiser","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
