    We purchased this as a gift, but weve owned our own copy for 20 years. Its a great family or party game with simple strategy.

    This is a great party game. In my family, we have even bought hats to go along with the different stations and it made it that much more fun. The more people, the better. We always play with 10 or 12 people, and that makes it really fun.

    This a game I played years ago with friends. It is just as much fun to play it with my family as it was back then. My kids (ages 5-15) picked it up quickly. It is a little too challenging for the 5 year-old to play alone, but he just becomes a team with whomever is the Greater Dalmuti. They especially like being able to change position. Great fun!

    We got this game for Christmas and have totally loved it. Its perfect for medium to large groups and pretty simple to learn/play.

    We like Great Dalmuti Game night with Hats and the Pie in the Face game for the Peon. Whoever we introduce it to, wants their own deck. Thank goodness we can now send them to Amazon. Once upon a time, we had to build our own from three card decks. We have worn out a few decks.

    We play this as a family and enjoy hours of entertainment.

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.
