    Went to a gathering last night and was super skeptical in introducing the game to everyone (we had a total of nine people, all around 21 years of age). Because the games a bit like Thirteen, I thought it might turn out to be a bit boring because weve all played that until we got sick of it. Of course, what better way to turn on the excitement factor than a DARE??? HAH. Whoever became the Greater Peon at the end of the game was forced to do something embarrassing. The game was so intense with everyone so anxious and nervous and giddy, not wanting to become last. GREAT GAME Some notes from my experience: 1. It can take up to 10 minutes to finish a round, which gives ample time to build up A LOT of anxiety than with a mere fast game of thirteen. We were screaming and howling like monkeys; it was absolutely hilarious. 2. The game is fairly easy to learn! I think some of the Amazon reviews and even Wikipedia does a better job at explaining the game than the pamphlet does though. 3. I think the dare factor really made it a more compelling experience :-) We didnt even have to role-play!!

    The family loves this. You need a good sized group to play this, 5 to 9 works well. Lots of laughs and jokes as each hand is played and players try to move their way up in the Medieval pecking order to the position of the Great Dalmudi. The pion must scamper to get the Great Dalumdi a snack or some water, and must show deference. We use a crazy crown for the Great Dalmudi and a dish cloth placed on the head for the Pion. Kids and adults love this, but they must be about 10 or so to get it. Young adults and teens LOVE this game!!!

    I like it a lot! For our family, we didnt like the status of calling anyone a Peon. We changed it to Pigeon and all is well. It is a very fun game to play and we play it often. So, the only dislike was the Peon, but many more things were great!!

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.
