    This is a wonderful fun, family game. I bought it, cause I played it at a friends home and have loved it. This product is new in the wrapper. It was shipped fast and arrived quickly. Thanks!

    We have been playing this game for a very long time and the kids never get tired of it. They recently introduced the game to their friends and now their friends are hooked and asked for this game specifically as birthday presents (15 and 13 year old girls). The game goes quickly and is a good game for introducing kids to probability. I ordered through an Amazon vendor and received it quickly at a reasonable price.

    Very fun, simple game. Bought this as a Black Friday discount special, on a whim, and I am glad I did. Played it with 8 adults at a New Years Eve party, its especially fun if you use the suggestion to add funny hats to the play. I expect this could become a family favorite.

    We love games and this card game is very addicting. Explaining to new people takes a little time, last time I had to explain it with sign language :) but once you learn the rules its easy and fun. Everyone just likes being the one at the top, the Great Dalmuti. can be played and enjoyed by kids ages 8- adult, which is our youngest child.

    When I first bought this, my youngest daughter took the pack apart, and being two, scattered it into the winds, literally. I am buying this again for a second time, this is how much I like the game.

    The Great Dalmuti has gone in and out of print over the years, and I have owned and given a number of decks. It is a very fun card game, best with five or six people, and well suited to playing in a family, a classroom, or anyplace people get a little bored. The subtitle is Life Is Unfair, because the game play penalizes you if you are not winning and helps you if you are. Even so, once kids get that, that very fact becomes part of the fun. Im a therapist and I work with teens and families and Ive often used this game in sessions. I have also used it in classrooms. It always becomes a favorite activity. Buy more than one; once you play, youll be giving them as gifts.

    I love this game. :)

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.
