Tatteln, also called Franzefuß and Därde, is an historical card game for two players that is played with a pack of 32 French or German playing cards.[1] The rules resemble those of Piquet and Mariage (Sixty-six), and David Parlett refers to it as a trick-and-draw version of the international classic, two-hander, Klaberjass.[2]
