    Love this simple family game. Will you be the great dulmuti or the lesser peon?! You may fall to the bottom or rise to the top each round, and the chair movement...with the comfy seat for the Dulmuti and the bare floor for the peon makes the game all the more fun.

    Fun game, so glad that I finally tracked down the name, 16 years after I first played it myself and then bought it. Everyone I have played with has loved this game. It is great fun and totally appropriate for the ages listed on the box.

    Great game for all ages begining at age six until? Beautifully illustrated cards. Fun for any group from four to eight persons. Best played with appropriate props, hats or other trappings for the great Dalmuti. Engaging enough to provide enjoyment for adults but not too difficult for children. I play it with my three grandchildren ages 6 to 11 years and we have a great time!

    With skill and luck you can be the Great Dalmuti! Very fun game for kids and adults. You can put two decks together with 7 or more people.

    My family loves to play this game. Dalmuti is simple enough to learn in only a few minutes and really brings out the laughter for hours.

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.
