Game Classification

Bonn Ouvert is a humorous simulation of the card game skat. There are many variants, but here is the principle: the game is usually played with three persons. Two of the players are playing against a single one, but are not allowed to communicate. Each card has a value and one suit is called "Trumpf". In every round each player loses one of his cards and the one who played the "Trumpf" card with the highest value gets all the played cards. If no "Trumpf" is played, the highest value wins. At the end each player counts the value of his cards. The goal for the single player is to get more points than the other two combined.

The main catch of the game is that all seven computer opponents are parodies of German politicians, including Helmut Kohl and Gerhard Schröder. During the game they talk in politician's platitudes. The game offers several skat variants and five card sets. With the editor the player can create his own sets. [source:mobygames]
