German card game, rumsch?

I'm looking for information on a German card game I played. We called it rumsch. It was played similar to hearts and was played with a German deck with instead of hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs, it had acorns, leaves, hearts and little Christmas tree ornaments and 32 cards. I cannot find any information on the game and I not sure about the spelling, rumsch? Anyone know what I'm talking about?

The game is called ramsch. It's a variation of the skat game. The rules are not official and may differ from place to place.

It is played when all three players pass during the bidding process. There is no declarer in ramsch; every player plays for himself, and the point is to achive as low a score as possible. The idea behind ramsch is to punish players who should have bid on their not-too-bad hands instead of passing.

Tricks in ramsch are played as if the game were Grand (only jacks are trumps). Hobby players often add the following rule: 10s are lower in trick taking power than Queens and Kings, BUT still count as ten points. Sometimes, they only count one point. There are a couple of variants to the rules concerning 10s, so this should be cleared before starting the game. The two cards in the skat are usually added to the stack of the player who takes the last trick. After all ten tricks are played, the player with the highest number of card points (or alternatively, every player) has their card points amount deducted from their score as negative game points. Other rounds give a fixed value of 15 negative points to the loser.

Well, the little Christmas tree ornaments are called Schellen, a simple kind of vibrating bell and favorite attribute of medieval jugglers and jokers.
