Each set of 8 cards consists of 2 cards from each suit; if French-suited cards are used the suits are Diamonds , Hearts , Spades and Clubs . Thus each card exists "twice" in the deck (hence the name "Doppelkopf") resulting in a total number of 240 points. In the ensuing description, the more common 48-card version is assumed. The rules for the 40-card variant are the same, the only difference is that the Nines are removed. If German-suited cards are used, the suits are: Bells , Hearts , Leaves and Acorns . The Ace is replaced by the Deuce or "Daus" (A), the Queen by the "Ober" (O), and the Jack by the "Unter" (U).
