Bruus, the card after which the game is named

... that Bruus (top trump pictured), once the national card game of Hamburg, features 'daring and tormenting' which lend it "a certain charm"?

ALT1: ...that Bruus (top trump pictured), once the national card game of Hamburg, rewards players for 'daring and tormenting' certain top trumps and that such tactics lend the game "a certain charm"?

OK, I don't know if this is the best hook for the article, but it's verified. The article itself seems well-verified, and while it can do with some cleanup, it's good enough for DYK. Also, long enough, well-verified, etc. Bermicourt, well done and thank you. It's high time I teach my kids to play Klaverjas--thanks for the reminder. Drmies (talk) 03:05, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, @Bermicourt:, I came to promote this hook, but I agree with Drmies that the hook needs some reworking. I appreciate that 'daring and tormenting' is a translation of the German 'Wagen und Plagen'. However, there isn't enough context in the hook to make it obvious that these terms are tactics within the game. Perhaps you want to rephrase the hook to clarify this?

Thanks, Bermicourt, I've made another small change to ALT1 which I will promote.
