The birth hour beaten over 200 years ago (1813) in the Thuringian Altenburg. Where playing cards have been produced for over 500 years, a new game was created at the everyday meetings of well-known Altenburg Honoratiors. For the first mentioned game "Scat" on September 4, 1813, the rules were leaned from various old games. Here the boys are trump and more than the kings. Against the backdrop of the political conditions of the early nineteenth century - Napoleon ruled over almost all Europe - it is no wonder that the idea of the skat game quickly spread around. With the new game for three players, the Germans survive French suppression, found unity, and even survived dictatures and world wars. Today, there are around 20 million skat players in the country, or better: 19 million players and a million players. The German leaf with the traditional cornflower back is also developed in Altenburg and is particularly popular in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.
