Description

Joffre (also called Kaiser) is a card game played with a deck of 32 cards, with four players divided into two teams of two partners (North-South and East-West).

Although Joffre is often compared to bridge, due to its two-phase process (bidding and card play), it is nevertheless easier to learn to play Joffre than bridge, notably thanks to the simplification, or even absence, of conventions in the bidding phase.

Just like bridge, it takes place in two phases:

auctions that determine the contract to be played by the winning team;
the card game during which the declaring team attempts to achieve at least the number of points announced by the contract.
While the names Joffre and Kaiser recall the First World War, the origins of the game remain unknown. It appears that the game was introduced to Quebec during the last century.
