Designed by Richard Garfield 1995. Published by Wizards of the Coast. For 5-8 players. Each player tries to get rid of his cards. The first who manages to do it becomes the Great Dalmuti. The last player becomes the great peon and deals the cards for the next game. The card mix is there is only 1 Great Dalmuti card, 2 Archbishops, 3 Earl Marshalls, 4 Baronesses, etc., down to 12 Peasants, plus 2 Jesters, which have the lowest standing but also have special powers. The lowest cards are the best ones. This brings subtleness in the game, wince with playing three, four or even five of a kind you can make sure that players with better cards will pass.
