Saturday, 11pm to Midnight
I ended Saturday with an hour of The Great Dalmuti. I had played this before with a group at friends at Guardian Games, and it's just a fun, silly way to kill some time. It was a nice, entertaining way to end the day.

The long, thin-cardboard version of The Great Dalmuti, $2.99 at VV. Not my favorite edition, but certainly a keeper in my book.

this is a simple card game that is a lot like scum. its really simple so often people over look it but in a larger group this can be a really fun game. I introduced it to my friends and now everyone has a copy so they can play when I'm not around. really fun.

Another excellent card game, lots of fun as people have to move around the table as befits their new status, but does reward players who think a little (plenty of luck, still).

Shrink Week continues!
$4.99, Value Village, sealed in Shrink. Probably too much, but this is very giftable for me. 2002 smaller box format.

Players try to shed cards according to a series of social ranks, the highest being the Great Dalmuti. The order in which players shed all their cards determines the seating arrangement of the next hand: the earliest to get rid of their cards get advantages for the next round, and the last to do so get penalties.

The sweet spot for this game is 7-9 players.
However, to keep the game interactive and interesting, add this house rule we use3:
The Edict of Dalmuti
After each round is completed, and the new Dalmuti is crowned, the Great Dalmuti may decree a new law upon the land. The law cannot impact the card game itself -- the law is a social one. The law cannot target an individual specifically, but can impact a 'role' (e.g., a rule that only affects the 3rd Merchant).
The Great Dalmuti may, if desired, decree an earlier law is no longer applicable. Absent this, the laws all add to one another, and last until the game is over.
What punishment is inflicted on law-breakers? In those cases where someone breaks the law, all may suggest a punishment, but the current Great Dalmuti has the final say.
If the Great Dalmuti breaks a law, then he must resign his position. The First Merchant and the Lesser Dalmuti are promoted and the Great Dalmuti becomes the First Merchant.
Examples of laws we have used in the past:
 None shall leave! All merchants and peons cannot leave the table for any reason without the expressed permission of the Great Dalmuti. The Lesser Dalmuti may leave is he/she wishes.
The Town Crier! The lowest ranking Merchant must, in a loud and booming voice announce each card set as they hit the table. A proper announcement is something akin to "Hear ye! Hear ye! The Honorable First Merchant has just played 4 Knights!"
Thumb-monster! All players in the game must keep a beverage in front of them at all times. At any time during the playing of the round, the Great Dalmuti may place his thumb on the table. The last player to notice, and get their thumbs up on the table as well, must down the beverage they have. Note: It is a dangerous thing to turn The Great Dalmuti into a alcohol drinking game (unless you want to instigate arguments...). I highly recommend that in this rule, you limit all to non-alcoholic beverages.
and so on...

The Great Dalmuti offers the getting-picked-on feeling of player elimination games without the satisfaction of eliminating other people. At least in Monopoly I can be the race car.

Plays:
8x The Great Dalmuti
1x The Resistance
I finally made a visit to the local game group that meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It was my second time, and last time was at least a half a year ago.
Since I'm a week late in posting this, I'll be brief.
We played many games of Dalmuti, and I did fairly well, staying pretty high up most of the time. We had 8-10 players at any given time.
In The Resistance, we had 9 players, and I was one of 3 spies. Round 1, a spy was forced to reveal himself to the other spy, and then the leader revealed himself to a resistance member, all were confirmed resistance. The first mission had one of those spies and the other two resistance members on it, which failed. The next mission included me, and it failed. The third mission had me on it, I proposed it and we won after 3 missions.

Plays in 2011: 1
The Great Dalmuti isn't so much a game as it is a structured hang-out time. That isn't to say that it's bad, but there isn't really a lot going on with the gameplay; it's usually pretty easy to find your best course of play and just hope that you ended up getting dealt a good enough hand to move up.
I will probably never suggest this to a game group, however, I have no hesitation in playing. Usually everyone ends up having a good time and then we move on to a deeper (better) game.
