개요
Skat is Germany's national card game for exactly three players. One player bids to become the soloist and plays against the other two working together. Complex bidding, the 'skat' (two-card kitty), and multiple game types make it deeply strategic.
역사
Skat was developed in 1810-1820 in Altenburg, Germany, evolving from older games. It became Germany's most popular card game and has official tournament rules established by the International Skat Players Association.
