Визначення та Значення "Skat"

What is "Skat"?

Skat is a trick-taking card game that originated in Germany and is typically played by three players. It is played with a 32-card deck, consisting of cards from 7 to Ace in each suit. The goal is to score the most points by winning tricks and forming specific combinations of cards. Players take turns playing cards, with the highest card in the leading suit or the trump suit winning the trick. The game begins with a bidding phase, where players bid to become the "dealer" and set the trump suit, or play without a trump suit in a "grand" game. The dealer has the option to take two extra cards, called the "skat," and can use them to improve their hand. Points are scored based on the number of tricks won, and the game continues until a set number of points is reached.
