Skat: bidding tables, game lists and a book to download
There are numerous bidding tables and score sheets for Skat online. However, none of them have fully met our needs. For this reason, we have created our own PDFs, which anyone can download for free.
Normally, you’ll find background stories, interviews and long articles on kulturgutspiel.de. Today, there’s none of that – instead, we’re offering a playful service piece. Online, you can find numerous bidding tables and score sheets for Skat. But none of them have fully met our needs. That’s why we’ve designed our own templates, which we’re providing free of charge to anyone interested. Do you have suggestions for improvements? Then we’d be happy to receive your feedback via email or in the comments.

- … 52 score sheets each with space for 36 games for three or four players,
- … before each sheet, space for scribbles, keywords and memories,
- … an all-time table for up to eight people,

Intangible Cultural Heritage
Skat was officially added to the nationwide directory of Intangible Cultural Heritage on 9 December 2016. The justification states, among other things: “It [the card game Skat] brings together people of different age groups, nationalities and social backgrounds, promotes social skills and a sense of community.” At the time, Minister of State for Culture Prof. Monika Grütters said: “Our shared Intangible Cultural Heritage is evidence of a beautiful societal agreement, at the centre of which lies our cultural heritage. The customs, skills and knowledge that are often passed down from generation to generation as part of this heritage are an essential part of our identity and self-understanding. They show how tradition and innovation, continuity and change can be linked. And they make it clear that our wealth is largely rooted in our culture.”
