The Great Dalmuti is AWESOME. It's not going to be the deepest, richest play experience. No, instead it's a lightweight game that's easy to learn that anyone can play. Works well for 4-12 people, which is especially flexible at parties where you have a number of people often coming and going.
Despite its simplicity, the game still has some strategic depth with the timing of playing your cards, and how many. Rounds take anywhere from about 5 to 15 minutes. You can play it straight up, or have a little fun and play into your roles (perhaps the Greater Peon must refill the Great Dalmuti's drinks, and the Dalmutis will get the nicer chairs at the table, etc.)
At $10 it's great. At $7 it's an incredible bargain. And the art by Margaret Organ-Kean is fantastic.
(I'm buying two of these to give to my friends!)
