Das GROSSE und das kleine A (1996)

About this game

This is another Karriere Poker/Great Dalmuti-like game with the requisite minor twists and tweaks. The deck is formed by combining two traditional card decks including jokers. Added are two special cards, one showing a large "A" the other a small "a". Players attempt to go out first or if not, to avoid being stuck with too many high point parts, especially not the "A" which ends up being passed from hand to hand. Re-implemented by: Ochs & Esel (2008) Who's the Ass? (2004)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 9.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
