Thank you for your purchase of this Skat software. This section of the handbook is intended especially for the beginner who has not yet mastered the rules. In the following chapters, we will explain the rules with the help of examples and will cover relevant playing strategy. If you already play Skat, it's not necessary to read this part of the handbook. In some cases, we have omitted a detailed description of things that are automatically handled and controlled by the Computer. Our goal is to give you the necessary rules and strategy so that you can enjoy the program.
If you have questions or suggestions concerning our program, we are reachable by telephone or fax at the number (..49)30/746-5478 during the hours 9:00am - 1:00pm Eastern Time (US).
