Skat
is the most popular card game in Germany. It is also played in
American regions with large German populations, such as Wisconsin
and Texas.
It
is a three- or four-player game of tricks using a 32-card deck.
The
game of skat is not related to the simple American card game
called scat, which is a draw-and-discard game.
The
deck of 32 cards consists of the cards 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen,
king and ace in the suits diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs.
There are no jokers. Some players in Eastern and Southern Germany
and Austria prefer "German" decks with the suits of
bells, hearts, leaves and acorns. At tournaments, a compromise
deck is used nowadays that has the standard suits but with green
spades and yellow diamonds. The choice of deck does not otherwise
affect the game's rules.
Suitable
packs can be bought prefab in Germany.
Although
the game at first sounds quite simple it has great depth. To be a
good player it is necessary to practice for several years. Good
players can recognize most of the unknown cards of the other
players within a few tricks, thus being in advantage.
