With the Toepen Plus app you can Rikken, Toepen and Trump (Kwajong) on your smartphone, tablet, Chromebook or Android TV.
In the latter case, control is done via the buttons on the TV remote control.
Rikken is a collection of different types of games. With some you have a trump color (always higher than the rest), with other games you don't. You should always match the color that suits someone; don't you do that, 'neglect' you and that's a deadly sin! Only when you no longer have the requested color can you try it - but you don't have to. You are also not obliged to surpass (ie: throw a higher trump than is already on the table).
The order of the cards is simply Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. The cards themselves are worth nothing; it is purely about the number of strokes that you drag in (often together with a measure). The four players each receive 13 cards (6 once and 7 times, and hardly shuffle, otherwise you won't get any interesting games!). The person to the left of the giver starts bidding. The following players may take turns in bidding higher, but once they have said 'pass', they may no longer bid for that round. The highest bid is obviously played.
If everyone fits, you can agree on everything: the dealer is forced to make an offer, share again (less fun) or play an alternative game: Spades Mie. The last option is built into Rikken.
Toepen is a fast and exciting card game of luck, insight and ... bluffing!
You play it with 3, 4 or 5 players.
Everyone starts with 4 cards, out of a total of 32, or ranked from highest to lowest: 10, 9, 8, 7, ace, king, queen, jack. The 10 is therefore the highest card.
The goal is simply to make the final move.
All players start with 15 points. The winner of the battle gets a point, the losers get points depending on the number of times that there is a knock. The player who reaches 0 loses.
Trump cards (also called Kwajong or Boompje laying) is a simple game with great strategic possibilities that is often played in Limburg.
You play it with 4 players and always with a mate. North and South play against East and West.
Trump cards are played with 32 cards: 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace, with the ace being the highest and the 7 the lowest.
Only the images earn points: Jack = 1, wife is 2, Lord = 3 and Ace = 4 points. So there are 40 points in the game.
Everyone receives 8 cards (2 x 4). After the first 4 cards are dealt, the player to the left of the dealer must make a trump card.
You must always admit color or play trump.
If you get more than 20 (round) points, you win the round and 1 point is deducted from your game total.
Each team starts with 7 points and the first with 0 points wins the game.
This App offers 3 options to play the game:
- Autoplay: the computer plays against itself
- Solitaire: you play alone, against computer players
- Online: you can play online against other players on the internet via the ToepenPlus server (multi-player). In the latter case there is a chat option to chat with the other players.

Have fun playing!
