By taking tricks in Dubbe, players jump into the roles of different characters that could typically be found sitting at a Palatine regulars' table: Aagewwer, Weschwieschmän, Jammerlabbe, Jo Lossen, Gliggsridder. Each character stands for either positive or negative points — or for a special function. In addition, with the numbers of tricks the values of positive and negative points will increase, so players have to carefully decide whether or not to take a trick and when. So who will get the most points by the end of the game?
