This party card game consists of several rounds, in which you try to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible. The faster you do this, the higher the social rank you will be able to hold in the next round. The first to run out of cards receives the title Great Dalmuti. The last person with cards is the Great Servant and must shuffle, deal, clean up and who knows what else! The Big Dalmuti is mainly intended for larger groups of people who do not take a game too seriously. The game mechanics in this card game are designed to make the game unfair, just like in real life. The high nobility has it easier than the foot soldiers, but what could be better than climbing up and giving the players who treated you just as unfairly a taste of their own medicine? Each round you receive a hand of cards, the values ​​of which range from 1 to 12. That number also directly indicates how many cards there are in the game. There are 2 jesters in the game, which you can use as a joker. All players sit at the table in order. The Large Dalmuti sits on the most comfortable chair, to the left of which sits the Small Dalmuti. Next comes the common folk and the last 2 in rank are the Little Servant and the Great Servant. The Great Servant is the personal right hand of the Great Dalmuti. He deals the cards, collects them and ensures that the game runs smoothly. In line with his rank, it is best to place him on a stool. Furthermore, you can of course decide for yourself to what extent you extend the hierarchy even further and let players with a higher rank give orders or tasks to the players with a lower rank. At the beginning of a round, the Great Dalmuti and the Great Servant exchange 2 cards with each other, with the Dalmuti giving 2 cards of his choice and the Servant his 2 best cards. The Little Dalmuti and Little Servant exchange 1 card in this way. Naturally, the Great Dalmuti starts the game. He places a set of matching cards on the table. Going clockwise, the other players place sets on the table that contain the same number of cards, but have a lower number. You can take your turn multiple times in a round. Whoever played the last cards in a round starts playing a set of cards again in the next round. This continues until everyone but one has lost their cards. The player who was the first to get rid of his cards becomes the (new) Large Dalmuti, the number 2 becomes the Small Dalmuti, and so on. This may mean that many people have to find a new seat, because everyone has to sit around the table again in order of their rank. Based on the result in a round, the players score points, which they record on a sheet of paper. Whoever has the most points after an agreed number of rounds wins the game. But if all players manage to continuously empathize with their roles, then that is already a reason to declare everyone the winner!

Welcome to New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1980: a vibrant city of music, food and magic. Neon lights flicker in dirty puddles along Bourbon Street; the innovations of the modern world collide with old and terrible traditions; and murder is never far away. Staffed with a roster of brilliant, colorful, and ultimately flawed private investigators, the Beaumont Agency specializes in solving cases that no one else can crack. In The Dark Quarter, an app-based cooperative adventure game set in the dark 1980s New Orleans, players each take control of a Beaumont cop and work together to solve the worst crimes New Orleans has to offer. It is a world full of magic, where curses are sold on every street corner, where voodoo priestesses and creatures of the night lurk, and where even the most mundane crimes have a hint of the supernatural. Through multi-scenario campaigns, the game tells a rich, dynamic story and invites players to make crucial decisions that not only affect their characters, but also change the direction and course of the story. The characters are not simple avatars that can be easily moved from scenario to scenario; instead, they are woven into the core of the story itself. Their fate and the fate of New Orleans are inextricably linked.

DC Spyfall is an easy-to-learn party game based on the social party game Spyfall. It contains elements of bluff, questions and clever answers. At the start of each round, players receive a secret card containing information about the group's location - one of twenty unique DC locations, including Arkham Asylum, the Daily Planet, the Hall of Justice and STAR Labs - except for one player, who receives the Joker card instead. The Joker doesn't know where he is, but if he can guess his location before his cover is discovered, he wins the round! DC Spyfall adds some twists to the Spyfall format. Since Harley Quinn usually follows the Joker, one player can receive a location card with a Harley image in each round. If this is the case, they will try to give the Joker player information about the location, even if they don't know that player's identity! If the Joker player guesses the location, the two collaborators score points - unless the superheroes can turn the tables and determine who Harley is. The game features two multiverse decks with eight different locations each instead of just one, which can confuse players with some questions and answers. Keep in mind that no one at the table knows if they are playing with a multiverse deck. A full Joker deck gives each player a Joker card, meaning all questions and answers are based on nothing more than what the players collectively believe. Just like with the multiverse decks, you don't know you're playing this deck until someone discovers it. Super power cards can give a player an ability for a round, such as dodging a question, or require a player to adjust their behavior; for example, Super Speed ​​forces a player to answer a question in three words or less.
