Being great fun and highly strategic it is not hard to understand why Skat is not only the national card game in that country but very popular in many other countries as well. The origins of International Skat (and thus it's variations) can be traced back to a card club inĪltenburg, Germany in approximately 1810.
Since its development in the early 1800's, Skat was and still is, the most popular card game played in Germany and many other German speaking locales.
