Skitgubbe

Skitgubbe is a card game that originated in Sweden. The game occurs in two phases. The first phase is a trick-taking game, where players accumulate a hand. The second phase is a rummy game, where players attempt to discard the accumulated hand. The last player to go out is the skitgubbe (dirty old man, in Swedish) and must make a goat noise. There is no other scoring system.

The first phase is unusual for a trick-taking game, in that there is asynchronous sloughing of cards that match played cards, while play goes around the table. In a variation common in the United States, the second phase is unusual because sequences of cards are played, connected, and picked up during the rummy phase.
