The Great Dalmuti

We were introduced to this game at a family Thanksgiving. It is perfect for for a game night, or any other time. There is a mixture of luck and strategy as you play your hand and respond as others play theirs. Playtime last for an hour or more depending on how the cards fall, but there is enough variation in the play to keep it from feeling too drawn out. We highly recommend this game.

time slips away - hours of fun - best played with 6 or more...

A great game. Good game for many players. Easy to learn. Lots of fun if you take your role as the Great Dalmuti seriously -- but not too serious.

We have a card group and play a variety of games including cribbage, pinochle, euchre, bridge, many variations of rummy, etc... In general, I do not like single-use card decks such as buying a Uno deck. But at the end of card night everyone looks forward to finishing the evening with a few rounds of Dalmuti as we always do. This is good for most ages, and the unfairness of it is the pleasure, especially when those at the bottom of the heap climb their way out to the top. Definitely recommend.

Great game for 4-8 players of all ages. We took it camping and had a blast.

I really do enjoy this game. Specifically for larger 6+ people groups its a 5 star card game. The instructions do mention reducing the deck for smaller groups. But the real joy comes from bringing in new players, in larger 6+ groups. The card face designs are excellent. Yet in general its a 4 star card game as I have found our family often doesnt choose this game when its only 3 to 5 players. And with any size of group, the outcome of each game is often the same. Which causes 2 things to happen for us. Either we keep playing and eat a lot of time because we really want to change rank, or we get frustrated in the lack of rank movement and stop quickly. As a comparison, the more commonly known card game UNO, tends to have a much more varied winner result and is more time controlled by the number of players and deck size. This game is still time controlled by deck size and group size; but the winner results tend to be a little flat for variation. Overall, an excellent card game for any collection and covered the large group player size nicely.

This game is really fun!!!

This is a fun game for a nice sized group. I bought this as a gift because it is just that much fun. We even made up basic costumes such as hats, face masks, glasses and such which really added to the interest and fun of the game.

I learned this game from my friend and her family growing up and have loved it since! This is a game that almost everyone can play and you can play as many rounds as you want.

Very easy to learn and loads of family/friend fun!
