    This is such a fun family game. Very easy to learn, we play with our youngest player being 8 years old. Its a fast game and we sometimes follow the suggestion of wearing funny hats for each class. A really fun entertaining game for all.

    Great game for young adults. Family analog gaming night favorite. I played the game when it was first released great with 5 or 6 folks. I am gifting this deck to my nephew to play with his circle of young adult friends.

    I heard about this game from a Salt Lake ComiCon board game panel. Playing a game as a group that involves old fashioned cards and no digital stuff is refreshing and lots of fun. Its an easy game and moves quickly. We play it when the kids come over for dinner. You can include everyone! We have about 8 people play it. I recommend this for all ages; anyone.

    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.

    WE learned to play this game with a group of friends, and liked it so much we ordered it for both of our childrens families as well as for ourselves. A wonderful game for all ages to play together.

    Awesome game that you can spend hours playing with friends. Best with 5 or 6 players, but can be played with fewer.

    The Great Dalmuti is a wonderful game for the whole family to enjoy. Not only is it a fairly simple game to understand, but it is also fast paced and constantly changing based on who the dalmuti, or king, is. Many fun house rules can be added, such as giving the Dalmuti authority over the scum, commanding them to do whatever he wishes. One of the best things to add to this game is HATS!!! A hat for the Dalmuti (or King), a hat for the Queen, a hat for Greater Scum, and a hat for lesser scum. You can also add in hats for normal folk. The more ridiculous the hat, the better, and the more laughter to be had throughout the game. Once youve discovered this game, youll be hooked, wanting to share it with your friends and family. Because it is a card game, the Great Dalmuti is very portable and makes a great addition to any vacation, family reunions, birthday parties, etc. As a side note, while the game is said to be for 4 to 8 players, it can played up to ten players very comfortably.

    I love this game!! I learned it at a party and HAD to buy it. To me, it’s best played with at least 5 people.

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.
