    I love this card game its great for in between study sessions with a group. It takes a couple rounds to learn the strategies but it is an awesome game.

    A great game. Good game for many players. Easy to learn. Lots of fun if you take your role as the Great Dalmuti seriously -- but not too serious.

    I saw some teenage boys I know and they were playing this game. They were having so much fun. It is a game that can be played without face cards or with face cards. They learned it at camp and have a great time. There is no clear winner or loser and it is still fun.

    I tried to buy this card game after playing it years ago, but it was out of print and I could only find it as a collectible. Nice to see it back in print.

    Arrived quickly and in good condition. Dalmuti is a fun game. Even better with hats. Just how long can you keep the crown, or will you end up being the court jester?

    This is a fun game with a little bit of movement around the table after each hand.

    Played with 9 people and 2 decks, good for groups. only downside is if people arent paying attention, can slow it down. people change seats after every hand.

A light card game where players gain status by going out first. The 80-card commercial deck contains cards ranked from 12 to 1, along with two Jesters. Each card bears a number, which is not only its rank, but also tells you how many of that card exist in the deck. In other words, there are twelve 12s, eleven 11s, four 4s and a single card ranked 1. The lower the number, the better the rank. The deck is dealt out to all players and the object is to get rid of your cards as fast as possible. The hand begins with one person playing one or more card to the center of the table. The cards played must all be of the same rank (although Jesters are wild, and may be played with any other cards). Each player in turn must now either play the same number of cards of a better rank, or pass. Play continues around the table until everyone has passed; at that point, the cards are cleared and whoever played the last set of cards leads the next round. After everyone has gone out, the players are ranked. For example, the person who first got rid of all his cards becomes The Great Dalmuti. Players change seat position to represent the new hierarchy and begin another round. The Great Dalmuti is generally played for many rounds.

From the Manufacturer

Life isn’t fair. And neither is The Great Dalmuti. In one round you’re at the top of the heap, and in the next you could be peasant scum. In this fast-paced game of medieval one-upmanship, players take their places in the pecking order, from Greater Peon to Greater Dalmuti. But the roles change in every round, so get rid of the cards in your hand fast. The quicker you rid yourself of your cards, the higher you’ll go. But don’t get comfortable in the cushy Greater Dalmuti chair because even the lowliest peon can unseat you and boot you out the door. Sounds unfair, sure it is. But the sweet taste of victory could make it all worthwhile. This short, fast-paced, fun card game is easy to learn and play. It takes about 15 minutes to play the game, and is for 5-10 players.
