Glossary

Bock — Special round in which all game values are doubled. Called after certain events (e.g. three passes, lost Kontra). Stacks with Kontra/Re.

Ramsch — Unofficial game mode with no soloist, everyone plays for themselves. The player with the most card points loses. Card ranking follows Grand rules: Jacks are the four highest trumps (not ranked within their suit), the Ten stays second-highest in its suit. Enter scores freely, as house rules vary widely.

Hand — Soloist plays without picking up the Skat.

Kontra — Opponents challenge the soloist's win, doubles the game value. Must be declared before the first trick.

Matadors — Count of consecutive top trumps from the top (Jack of Clubs, Jack of Spades, …). Example: Jack of Hearts and Jack of Diamonds in hand = without 2.

Ouvert — Soloist lays all cards face up. In suit/Grand games: Hand only. In Null games: also playable without Hand (Null Ouvert, 46 pts).

Re — Soloist responds to Kontra, doubles again (×4 total). Only allowed after Kontra.

Schneider — Opponents score 30 or fewer card points (≤ 30). Soloist needs at least 90 of 120.

Schneider announced — Declared before play that the opponents take at most 30 card points. Only with Hand.

Schwarz — Soloist wins all tricks.

Schwarz announced — Declared before play that the soloist takes every trick. Only with Hand.

Passed — No one bids: all three players pass without even the lowest value (18) being offered. No game is played; the round counts as neutral, no points are gained or lost.

What is Skat?

Skat is Germany's most popular card game, traditionally played by three players. With 32 cards and a wealth of tactical decisions, Skat is considered one of the most sophisticated card games in the world.

Each round, every player receives 10 cards: 2 cards form the face-down Skat. During the bidding phase, players compete for the right to become the Soloist. The highest bidder takes the Skat, discards 2 cards, and chooses the game type: a suit game (Diamonds, Hearts, Spades or Clubs), Grand (only Jacks as trumps), or Null (aim to take no tricks). The Soloist then plays alone against the two defenders.

In suit games and Grand, the Soloist needs at least 61 of 120 available card points. Ace scores 11, Ten 10, King 4, Queen 3 and Jack 2. The game value is calculated as base value × multiplier. Matadors and levels like Hand, Schneider and Schwarz increase the multiplier.

Scoring modes

Classic: The standard rules. The soloist wins or loses the game value, opponents always score zero.
Seeger-Fabian: Tournament scoring: a won game scores 50 + game value. A lost game costs −(50 + 2×game value); opponents each receive 40 bonus points.
Bierlachs: An unofficial scoring system. The first player to drop below the target (e.g. −300) loses, and in some parts of Germany, tradition says they pay the next round of beer.
