What is Skat?
|
Skat is a card game for three or four players. Its rules are given (in English)
at www.pagat.com, which
describes four forms of skat:
David Parlett's Germany's national card game
is an excellent account of skat.
The official rules of German skat are governed by the
Deutsche Skat-Gericht
which has codified them in the
Internationale Skatordnung.
This site provides an
English-language version of the skatordnung,
translated from German by David Parlett.

Mailing List
|
The British Skat Association has a
mailing list
for discussion of topics related to skat in Britain. This requires you to
register with the list administrator, so we can keep spammers and
pornographers away. It has an archive, so if you register you will be
able to see past postings (but only the ones made since December 12th
2004, when it was created).

used on skat packs.

Skat servers
