Thunee, after the Tamil word for water, is a popular trick-taking card game of the Jack-Nine family that originated in Durban, South Africa. It is believed that the game was developed by the first indentured Indian labourers. There are variations of the game found in India and Mauritius. The game is mostly confined to the former Indian townships, where it is very popular as a family game and in fund-raising tournaments, but to some extent it has spread to other South Africans and to Indians in other countries. The game Euchre is very closely related. The first thunee world championship was held in Pietermaritzburg in 2003.

  • Thunee, nach dem Tamilischen Wort für Wasser, ist ein in Südafrika bekanntes Kartenspiel, das aus Durban, Südafrika stammt. Es wurde von indischen Lohnarbeitern erfunden, die nach Südafrika kamen, um in den Zuckerrohrfeldern zu arbeiten. Es wird angenommen, dass es Variationen des Spiels in Indien und Mauritius gibt. Das Spiel ist hauptsächlich auf die ehemaligen indischen Townships beschränkt, in denen es als Familienspiel und bei Fundraising-Turnieren sehr beliebt ist. In gewissem Maße hat es sich jedoch auch auf andere Südafrikaner und auf Inder in anderen Ländern ausgeweitet. (de)

In gewissem Maße hat es sich jedoch auch auf andere Südafrikaner und auf Inder in anderen Ländern ausgeweitet. Das Spiel Euchre ist sehr eng verwandt. Die erste Thunee-Weltmeisterschaft fand 2003 in Pietermaritzburg statt. Das Spiel ist Teil der Bézique-Familie, die Sechsundfünfzig umfasst, und den viel älteren Kartenspielen der Familie Jass, die deutschen Ursprungs sind. (de)

The game Euchre is very closely related. The first thunee world championship was held in Pietermaritzburg in 2003. The game is part of the Jack Nine card games family, which includes twenty-eight, and the much older card games of the Jass family which are German in origin. This game is generally enjoyed at any occasion. Thunee is enjoyed by both young and older generation amongst the Indian community. Thunee is also enjoyed during porridge prayers and goat prayers among the indian communities. (en)
