A good place to play Ulti or any Hungarian card game?

Posted by buckyb123@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 5 comments

Hi, my friends and I are visiting from the U.S over the next three nights and love playing card games? From what I have researched, Ulti seems right up our alley…is there any spot where you’d find others playing this game that could maybe help teach?

We aren’t interested in board games or pc gaming for clarification.

Thanks!

Ulti is the most amazing card game, you have a great sense of those to find it. It can be played by 3 or 4 persons.

Also pretty complex, I play it one or twice a month with friends for the last 2 years and still make big mistakes. Some of the guys say it takes at least 3 years to learn proper basics.

They can probably help: Ulti Akadémia https://maps.app.goo.gl/yfPS5qao7SrmVWmb6

Maybe someone knows something but as far as I know we don't really have any venues for playing cards. Card games are usually something we play with friends and family, the only person I played hungarian cards with was my grandpa. There aren't really any places where people go to play cards with randoms (especially not in English).

Closest thing to that is board game cafes which we have a bunch of, but of course their main thing is actual board games which you say you're not interested in. There is no guarantee they can teach you old card games.

I'd recommend snapszer first, as it's simple (but with depth of course) and it's sort of the pre-requisite for ulti which is much more complex. Also ulti is 3 persons only, snapszer typically 4.

As to where, I've no idea, but if you go to a board game themed cafe, the staff there are helping out with games anyhow, so I'm sure they would help you learn. Board Game Cafe, Game Up, Vault 51, Barcraft are similar places.
