Wallachen is an Old Bavarian card game, which used to be very popular in eastern Bavaria.[1] Although, by 2012, it had become a rarer sight at pub tables, there have been more recent moves to revive it. Wallachen is a relatively simple three-hander that is easy to learn.[2] As a result, like Grasobern, it has a relatively relaxed character without the mental demands of Schafkopf or the psychological stress of Watten.[3] It is a member of the Préférence family of card games.
