1. A three-handed card game played with 32 cards, of which
two constitute the skat (sense 2), or widow. The players
bid for the privilege of attempting any of several games
or tasks, in most of which the player undertaking the game
must take tricks counting in aggregate at least 61 (the
counting cards being ace 11, ten 10, king 4, queen 3, jack
2). The four jacks are the best trumps, ranking club,
spade, heart, diamond, and ten outranks king or queen (but
when the player undertakes to lose all the tricks, the
cards rank as in whist). The value of hands depends upon
the game played, trump suit, points taken, and number of
matadores.
2. (Skat) A widow of two cards.
