    This is a bit like Scum but super easy to learn. We play it in mixed company and family settings and it is great. One of my favorites.

    Very entertaining, fairly quick game. Strategy changes and develops over time, but can be evenly balanced across new players and experts.

    Great Dalmuti is a great, great card game for people of all ages. It is an empty your hand styled game similar to UNO, but focused more on the sequence of your turns and your subsequent rounds of play determined by the order you empty your hands. Its a great party game and not overly complex in the slightest. For those of you who are collectors, this is different than the Wizards of the Coast version which are a longer resembling Tarot cards where as these are more like a standard deck of cards. These make great stocking stuffers or little pack-ins for gifts. This is a no-brainer and we keep a copy in each of our family residences for icebreakers and distractions.

    We love it, favorite game ever! I like beat up on your neighbor games like Risk and Spades anyway, but this one adds such a level of pure fun that it takes that to a whole new level. Everyone Ive introduced this to has become a huge fan. My sister and her fam had one of those Mickey Mouse wizard hats from Disney which was perfectly suited, along with a firefighters hat, construction helmet, and dunce cap. What can I say, I love the line, Its good to be king! (and its tough to get out of the Peon chair, but boy its sure fun when a greater revolution happens and the Dalmutis have to switch with the Peons!)

    This game is quite fun for groups of people. It is much like presidents but with a designated card deck.

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.
