Product Description

Product Description

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.

      This game was made by Richard Garfield, the father of Magic: the Gathering. As an avid MtG player I was sold. Then I played it with my family over the holidays with some drinks. We went all in and got some silly hats and had a great time. The card material isn't great, but it doesn't matter. It's a great, portable play-anywhere game. The pacing is fun, but be warned: if you're the low person on the totem pole it's hard to climb your way out, but if you do it is a TON of fun. Highly recommend for groups of 4 or more that want to have a good time.

      I got a copy of this game after being introduced to it at a party by a friend. This friend was able to teach a large group of us how to play in a matter of minutes. We played for two hours and had so much fun. It's a game with a great balance of strategy and chance. I'm pleased with the quality of the cards in the deck that I received.

      This game is so much fun! It is very easy to learn. We have always played it with 6-8 players. It probably loses a bit of fun, if you drop down to 4 players. Part of the fun is that depending on who goes out first, second, third, fourth, and so on, will decide the seating order. So people are getting up and switching seats after every hand. Play as long as you like, or only a few hands if you are short on time. There's both luck of the draw and strategy involved. Love it!
