'Skat' is the most popular card playing game in Germany, where 1/5th of the population know the rules and nationwide competitions are held. It is also pupular in USA.

Skat is played with a 32 card deck, 7,8,9, queen, king, 10, ace and jack in each suit. The trick taking game is played with 3 players. Players auction for the right to take the two remaining cards, define the trump suit, and play against the two other players.

Despite being a card game, the factor of luck is small enough to qualify the game as a skill game - despite Germany's strict anti gambling laws, Skat can legally be played for money.
