Klawerjas

Klawerjas is one of the most popular card games in South Africa

Klawerjas is one of the most popular card games in South Africa, traditionally played on a social level at home (kombuis Klawerjas), Universities and Colleges as well as competitively in organised league structures in certain parts of the country namely Western Cape, Eastern Cape & Uitenhage Region.

The game was brought to South Africa by the Dutch and is for 4 players who play in pairs (partners), sitting opposite each other. Klawerjas (Klaverjassen in Dutch) is also the national game of the Netherlands and has been played there for several centuries.

This South African version is very different to the Netherlands' version and can be said to be influenced by another South African card game Thunee which is very popular in Kwa-Zulu Natal. One such difference for example is that Roem is based on certain sequence of cards held in ones hand rather that cards discarded to a trick.
