[Bska] Foster's Skat Manual

[MikeTob at aol.com]

Hi All, 
 
Foster's Skat manual (3rd edition 1922) has been digitally  reproduced, and 
is available in paperback from Amazon and Amazon resellers  if anyone's 
interested. 
 
It's an American publication (first pub 1906) and comes from a time when  
both the American and the German games had three different types  of trump game:- 
 skat exchange, tournee (where the suit of one of the Skat  cards determined 
trumps and solo (what we now call a hand game) with a  range of different suit 
values.
 
Regards,
 
Mike Tobias.
