The Great Dalmuti is a card game that Ritchie and Laura introduced us to. The object is to make as many matches as possible in a game. When you win, you move up in rank. The winner or the person of highest rank is called the Great Dalmuti. The next in rank is the Lesser Dalmuti and then there are merchants on down to the Lesser Fool and the Great Fool who is the loser. Ritchie and Laura, bless 'em, bring a lot of fantastic hats to the game table and your hat determines your status. The Great Dalmuti hat, of course, is the most fantastic, frilly, bells & whistles hat of the game. Back to Family & Friends The game begins..
