Skat Rules

Ten cards are dealt to each of the three players and two cards remain face down to form what is known as the skat. Perhaps one of the most important steps of the game is the auction, which follows after the dealing.

Players get to determine who will play solo against the two other players by bidding. Whoever bids the highest gets to play solo and pick the trump suit. What is interesting is that the main objective of the solo player is not to win most of the 10 tricks, rather win tricks containing as many card-points as possible.

The point values of the cards are as follow:

Ace - 11 points
Ten - 10 points
King - 4 points
Queen - 3 points
Jack - 2 points
Nine - 0 points
Eight - 0 points
Seven - 0 points

There are a total of 120 points and the solo player must obtain at least 61 of them. There are many other nuances of the game, such as the usage of the skat, which the solo player has access to. There is no requirement to use the skat but if used, the solo player can discard up to two cards and pick two in return from the skat, allowing for very interesting dynamics.
