    We were introduced to this game almost 10 years ago. Finally bought our own set. This is a game that isnt very hard to understand or catch on to. You can have adults playing with small kids and everyone has a great time. Very clever game. We play this at every family gathering. It literally goes on for hours. We play it musical chairs style. Its also fun to find a funny hat or crown that your Great Dalmuti can wear. Other hats for other ranks can make the game even more silly. This is a family favorite for us.

    I learned this game from my friend and her family growing up and have loved it since! This is a game that almost everyone can play and you can play as many rounds as you want.

    Maybe this review will stick. Not as fast moving as PIT, another game that I have reviewed. I really like this better because I dont have to drink as much whisky. while Im playing.

    This has been one our favorite games for the last 20 years. We find people all of the time who have never heard of it and they become addicted like we are. We have 4-10 players and it is always fun. This is like the card game scum. We have four sets of these cards. We are just glad that they still make this game.

    We love this game. Its super fun. some of the cards are starting to separate though so the durableness of the game is not very good.

    The product was delivered as described here. This is very enjoyable game where I have never failed with this one if I bring it to my friends.

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.
