Why skat is the king of German card games
The game s rules can appear mysterious to the noninitiated, yet more Germans play it than football. It s also listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage asset.
To start out, full disclosure: I m not sure I ll ever learn. I ve tried, a bit. But to be honest, as a Canadian who s been living for 15 years in Germany and who s otherwise well integrated in the country, it s nice to know I still have something left to learn that would make me even more German : how to play skat.
And to my defense, it s not a game you can simply pick up through observation.
