    My friends and I have been playing this games for years. The rules are simple, the play is quick, and the perks and penalties add to the fun. Our Great Dalmuti has a tall top hat to wear and a leather armchair to sit on. The Greater Peon has a pathetic floppy cap and a hard stool. We have been playing with the German version, since that was the only one I could find back then. Im glad the English version is back in print.

    I was not expecting this game to be so competitive and fun! It is intoxicating! The game itself goes by very quickly in as many rounds as you wish to play. You can play a quick few rounds or play round after round all night long. This is an easy take along game! I always have a deck in my purse!

    You need to buy this game. Quick to learn, lots of strategy for great replay value, HILARIOUS to play with friends and role enhancements (costumes, treats, etc).

    This is such a great, quick game to have for some fun that is strategy-filled but can be quick (approx 15 minutes) or for hours of fun!

    We are a game family. We have dozens of games...and we like to play games whenever we get a chance. This game has become one of our favorites. We played it at our thanksgiving party and it was a huge hit by all.

    Very disapointed in this product. It should be in the name that this is a minature version of the original game. Its non-returnable. its an amazing ame but a bad seller.

    Great cards and a great 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.
