    The Great Dalmuti is a game that I have played for years and enjoy introducing people to. It is easy to learn for participants of any age and the fun can really be scaled up. Where I work (resident employment), this game became a great hit. We all got so into it that we started incorporating wearing hats as The Great Dalmuti and The Lesser Peon.

    We first played this game at our daughters house with a large group of family and had a blast. Absolutely had to have a game for ourselves.

    We were introduced to this card game on a ski trip with friends. Had to order one of our own right away. Its slightly addictive and a great family game.

    I was introduced to The Great Dalmuti a couple years ago. We had a large group and wanted to do something besides drinking and hanging out. My younger Brother suggested we play. Wow, it was a big hit. We found out quickly the game was more fun when you were cocky about winning. With in a couple hands, everyone wanted to either be in the Great Dalmuti seat or at least take out the person who was in it. Like all games their is luck involved, but strategy is critical. If you get a bad hand you can come out ok, if you play it right, if not youll be a peon. The game can easily get loud and crazy if thats what you want. On a personal basis, like all games, its a lot more fun when you are winning.

    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.

    The Great Dalmuti is one of our family favorites. Its fun with 4 people, but playing with 6 is even better. The game requires skill like playing hearts, fun and moving around when you win or lose a hand, and then theres the Great Dalmuti who everyone wants to be. It takes a few minutes to learn how to play, but once you get the hang of it, you will not stop laughing. Family favorite for sure!

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.
