Background and detail

Background. Skat, historically known as Scat, is a three-player trick-taking card game of the ace–ten family. It was devised around 1810 in Altenburg, in the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, by members of a local Tarock club called the Brommesche Tarok-Gesellschaft. The game developed between 1810 and 1813 in what is now Thuringia, Germany.

First Recorded Name. The name 'Scat' appears for the first time in the gaming records of Hans Carl Leopold von der Gabelentz in 1813. While the legacy data suggests a specific date of 4 September, the supplied passages do not confirm this exact day or the specific location of the record's creation, only the year 1813 and the general origin in Altenburg.

Early Popularity. By 1835, the earliest recorded rules for 'Scat' indicate the game was already popular in the Kingdom of Saxony, especially in the Duchy of Altenburg and the surrounding area. This suggests the name and game had gained traction in the region following its initial development.
