1001 is a point-trick card game of German origin for two players that is similar to sixty-six. It is known in German as Tausendundeins and Tausendeins ("1001") or Kiautschou.[1][2] The winner is the first to 1001 points, hence the name.[2] Hülsemann describes the game as "one of the most stimulating for two players", one that must be played "fast and freely".[2]
