Skat (German pronunciation: [ˈskaːt][a]), historically Scat, is a three-player trick-taking card game of the ace–ten family, devised around 1810 in Altenburg in the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. It is the national game of Germany[1] and, along with Doppelkopf, it is the most popular card game in Germany and Silesia and one of the most popular in the rest of Poland. A variant of 19th-century Skat was once popular in the US. John McLeod considers it one of the best and most interesting card games for three players,[1][2] and Kelbet described it as "the king of German card games."[3] The German Skat Association assess that it is played by around 25 million Germans – more than play football.
