The Great Dalmuti is a card game designed by Richard Garfield, illustrated by Margaret Organ-Kean, and published in 1995 by Wizards of the Coast. Two printings of the game exist, one with a 1994 date (WOC5100) and the other one with 1995 (WOC5100). Printed in Belgium by Carta Mundi. MSRP: $7.95 US $11.95 CAN. It is a variant of the public domain game Asshole, dating back to late Middle-Ages. The 2 advertisement cards were included in both versions. It came in a sealed display of 12 boxes (WOC5101). The 80-card deck is composed of twelve 12s, eleven 11s, ten 10s, nine 9s, eight 8s, seven 7s, six 6s, five 5s, four 4s, three 3s, two 2s, one 1, and two Jesters. (One Jester played by itself counts as a 13. If played in conjunction with another card, the Jester takes on the value of the other card as a wild card.) Each card in Dalmuti has a medieval name. Each rank is represented by an equal number of cards to its rank, except for the two Jesters.
