Skat is a Macintosh implementation of the German national card game of the same name, a three-handed trick-taking game played by tens of millions of enthusiasts. The Info-Mac release packages a shareware build with a beginner's guide and a printable handbook for players new to the bidding rules.
The King of German Card Games
Macintosh Garden describes Skat as a Mac version of the king of German card games. The program lets the user play full Skat hands against the computer, with bidding, declarer play, and scoring handled in line with the standard rules.
Versions and Languages
Several builds are catalogued: Skat 1.1.2 in German, Skat 3.2 in English, Skat 4.0.7 in German, and a later Mac OS X release as Skat 6.3 in German. The Info-Mac archive copy is the 1.1.2 release uploaded by J. Sell and posted as a successor to an earlier Skat11.sea.hqx.
For Bridge, Euchre, and Pinochle Players
The accompanying notes pitch Skat to players of related trick-taking games: Bridge players are told to expect a fresh challenge, while Euchre and Pinochle players are told to treat it as a step up in complexity.
System Support
Macintosh Garden lists 68k and PowerPC native binaries with support for System 7.0 through Mac OS 9. The shareware download is small and runs comfortably on period hardware or under emulation.
