The Great Dalmuti is a fun group card game, reminiscient of the homemade version, "Scum." (And while we're on the subject of group games, don't forget to tell us your favorites here , for the chance at a prize) Play is simple--a sort of follow the leader, if you can, in laying down the same amount of cards, but a lower number, as the person who went before you. The object of the round is to be the first person to get rid of your cards. That lucky/strategic person becomes "The Great Dalmuti." The ne...

Remember that card game you played when you were young? Usually done with Rook cards, it had a suit and a trump and you held out fingers to predict how many hands you would take. You started with ten cards and went down to one. Sometimes that last round involved putting the card on your forehead. Do you remember it? What did you call it? It had about a hundred different names and about that many variations. Some smart person, one who recognizes a good game when he sees it, and who must have played th...

Who needs a couch when you can play Citadels instead?

If you'd like to better know your family and friends, sit down with them to a game of Citadels. It's almost Freudian in its ability to reveal the inner workings of someone's brain. You'd never guess it, though, from just reading about the game. You have to play it. The object of Citadels is similar to many other euro-style games in that you're building things. The twist is that everyone chooses a character card before each round begins. The cards are kept face down and turn order is determined by character, not where player...
