    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.

    This is one of the best fun card games to play with a bunch of your friends. You can spruce it up by creating a special Dalmuti chair and crown and a stool and jester hat for the peon. Had us laughing the entire time!

    We played this game at a friends house, and have now ordered it for home. This really only works if you have at least 4 people, but the more the merrier. Its basically a version of Thirteen, with some differences, and the artwork on the cards is really neat.

    Great family fun. Easy to learn. Lots of people can play. One round can be 5 to 10 minutes. You can play as long as you want. You have to hold a lot of cards until you start clearing them out. Some strategy is needed but some is luck too. We like it.

    This is a great game! I got it for my family to play at gatherings. Everyone loves it for all ages from young to older. It is quick to learn and is one of our favorite games. I do think it is more enjoyable with a decent size group-we usually play it with around 6 of us.

    I love this for group games of 4-8 people! (Ideally 5-6) You move chairs each round, which allows different interaction with other players. Allows some strategy, but even more trash talking among players. Ive bought a pack for my daughter and her young adult friends to play in Spain!

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.
