Having just returned from a holiday in Germany, I've rediscovered what a brilliant game Skat actually is. Unfortunately, I've found it difficult to find a 'third man' in the UK. Thus, I was wondering if there are any players in the Brighton and Hove area who would fancy an occasional game. Cheers Ben -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A couple of articles I found on Google seem to back this up, although my German isn't good enough to be sure. I wondered if anyone else had come across this.
