Skat

Skat is the most popular card game in Germany. It is also played in American regions with large German populations, such as Wisconsin and Texas.

It is a three-player game of tricks using a 32-card deck.

The game of skat is not related to the simple American card game called scat, which is a draw-and-discard game.
