Its natural extension is Schwarz, said of a player or team who loses the game without taking a single trick.
The colloquial proverb from Austria "To give someone a Schneider" means to defeat an opponent without their scoring.
Likewise, a declarer who fails to score at least 31 is Schneider and loses by a higher amount.
This is where all the tricks are won by one player or partnership and achieve an even higher game score.
In Austria's national game, Schnapsen, which is played between 2 players, 130 points are available: 120 in cards and 10 for winning the last trick.
[6] A team that was winning 23-0, but then loses, receives a Retourschneider ("return schneider"), also called a Schuster ("cobbler"; probably a play on the fact that Schneider means "tailor") or Rücker ("returner"), which is worth 4 Bummerls.
Examples include Einwerfen, German Tarok, Hundertspiel, Mariage, Skwitz and Réunion.
It can also mean a hand in which the loser wins no tricks at all, for example, in Bauerntarock, Dobbm, Droggn, Jaggln and games of the Swiss Jass family.
[7] Some English accounts mistranslate the term as 'match' but, in the sense of taking all tricks, march is more accurate.
