Blank (playing card) Blank (playing card) A blank is playing card in card-point games that is a non-counter or is worth nothing. The names of the non-counters varies from region to region and game to game. In Poker they are blanks, bricks or bombs. In the German games of Schafkopf, Doppelkopf, Sixty-six and Skat, the 7s, 8s and 9s in all card suits are "Luschen". In the popular Swiss game of Jass the "Luschen" are the 6s, 7s, 8s and 9s; unlike Skat, however, the 9 of trumps, "Nell", is worth 14 points and is thus an exception; it ranks in the hierarchy
