Kop is a minimalist Polish card game of the Schafkopf family for four players played using traditional French-suited playing cards. It uses a shortened pack of just 16 cards and is similar to Baśka , another fast moving Polish game.
Games played with 36 cards may be of considerable antiquity as the standard German card pack reduced to 32 cards during the 19th century (see Dummett 1980). Several of these games are attempts to play the Tarot game of Grosstarock with standard French- or German-suited cards.

Card games of the Schafkopf type are trick-taking games in which the card values are like those in Skat and the Jacks and/or Queens (Unters and/or Obers) of all suits are the highest trumps, regardless of trump suit.
In 1951, it was referred to as a "central German card game" [22] and in 1958, as "one of the most popular card games in Germany."
