Description
 

Life isn't fair...Why should a game be? Players take their places in the pecking order, from Greater Peon to Greater Dalmuti, and try to ditch the cards in their hands.

What (or Who) is The Great Dalmuti? Easy to learn and quick to play, The Great Dalmuti is a social card game based on the premise that life isn't fair. The colorfully illustrated card deck consists of 80 cards: 12 twelves, 11 elevens, 10 tens, and so on down to one Great Dalmuti card, as well as two Jesters. The faster you get rid of the cards in your hand, the higher your social class will be in the following hand, and having a higher social standing has definite advantages in the game. Watch out--the last player to run out of cards has to be the Greater Peon, the lowest rank of all, who has to shuffle, deal, and collect the cards, as well as tend to the needs of the Greater Dalmuti! The Great Dalmuti is perfect for family or group entertainment and can be played by anyone over eight years old. Hints All great games come with a few hints to enhance game play. Here are a few for The Great Dalmuti: Usually, you should not break up a set. At times it's tempting, especially during a round when everyone is able to play cards except you, but it's usually advantageous to hang on to those multiples until you can play them together. It's not always wise to top the previous play. You should use your good cards to try to take the lead, so saving them until they are the highest cards around can be a very effective strategy. While you're the Greater Dalmuti, take advantage of your power and play the part to the hilt. After all, you may be the Greater Peon in no time at all!
