''Skat'' is the most popular German [[Card Game]]. It's always played by three folks - if there are more, some of them will have to sit out in some rounds, or you'll have to split the group if there are more than five. The game is several centuries old. In terms of strategy vs. luck, it's more on the luck side than Texas Hold'em [[Poker]] - meaning that a good player who knows about strategy will have an edge over lesser players, but not as much as in poker.

No relation to the American card game Scat (also known as 31). It is one of the sources of inspiration for the related Russian card game, [[Preferans]].

** You not only have to lose, you must not get a single trick, even if it's worth zero points. If you get even a single trick you lost the round.
