Description

In Alemannen-Skat, played with a 7 through ace from a standard deck of cards, the two players simultaneously each select a card from their hand, then reveal it; then they do that again. Next, the highest card "grabs" the second-highest card, and the lowest card "grabs" the second-lowest card. The players now place their winnings on one of three fields they have, color-coded like a traffic light: green: the value of the cards on it are multiplied by +2 yellow: the value of the cards on it are multiplied by +1 red: the value of the cards on it are multiplied by -1 The cards and suits all have specific relative values, so every card can be ranked uniquely, and some card score more than others. Additionally, the positive discard fields have a limit of how many of the 32 cards in the deck they can receive. Published in spielbox Number 4 of 2007.
