    Fun game for a group! My boss introduced me and my coworkers to this game. We had a game luncheon and it was a blast! Easy to understand. Would be good for kids and family

    Great fun for our family of ages 9 to 76, if members get into it as ours did.

    We were looking for an alternate to Rook and for more than 4 players. This is a fun game but not much strategy involved. Something fun and different to do.

    Great game for 5 or more. This is Adult duck duck goose if you will. So glad I found this game not available in stores.

    Each hand is fun to play as you place your cards. When the hand is over, you change you rank in society and your seat at the table. Just active and entertaining enough to keep my grand-kids (age 8-13) interested in playing with me and me with them. We had a whole-family blast.

    Great family / friend game. We have bought it several times for a gift as we play it with our children often.

    I saw some teenage boys I know and they were playing this game. They were having so much fun. It is a game that can be played without face cards or with face cards. They learned it at camp and have a great time. There is no clear winner or loser and it is still fun.

    This game is so fun! The rules can be made more difficult for groups who like a challenge, but the basic rules are still fun. I highly recommend for anyone who likes games.

    This is such a fun game and best part is that you cane play with bigger families or groups! Easy to learn and fun for all ages.

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.
