    Great fun for four or more players, kids to adults. I played it with friends on a camping trip and had to go home and buy it for our family. :-)

    A family introduced us to this game and added their own version by bringing a Burger King crown (or two) for use in the game. It was lots of fun so I sent this game to various families among the relatives. I see the ratings on amazon has a very high rating.

    Even the name of this game is fun to say. I was first introduced to this game about 2 years ago by a friend. Our group would play it every chance we got. Then, the friend that owned the game moved away. I was so excited to see it on Amazon! Since ordering it, there has not been a week that goes by without playing it. I now have a whole new group that is hooked on the game too. I would play it every day if I just always had a group around. Its so simple and it is so fun. A previous reviewer has already given you a summary of how it is played. This is easily my favorite card game! Thanks Jonesy!

    Great game! Especially fun for bigger groups of people with mixed ages.

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.
