skat

Trio card game

Skat is a German trick-taking card game for three players, considered one of the most strategically complex card games.

It uses a 32-card deck and involves bidding, trumps, and point counting.

The game has devoted followings in Germany and among card game enthusiasts elsewhere: We played skat every Sunday at my grandfather's house.
