    It was not as good as I expected it to be. I personally dont like the game very much, but in a group party it was fun.

    A must have family game because of the roles everyone gets to play. Add funny hats for more fun!

    Not only is this game a heap of fun, its easy to play. Bought it to play with our family over the holidays and we ended up playing for hours at a time. Even those who arent too keen on game playing enjoyed it. Love, love, love it! Definitely worth the money.

    Weve been playing this game for nearly 13 years. We find its much more fun when you get in to character. Make the peon stand and the dalmuti gets the most comfy chair. find a crown for the dalmuti, too, if you can! Our children are finally old enough to join in on the play, so it makes for excellent family time.

    A version of the game scum with a decreasing number of cards as the cards increase in value. My family has enjoyed this version for years.

    Great for crowd

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.
