Players can bid based on the cards that they have in their hand and the highest bidder gets to take the two middle cards. Two cards are placed in the middle of the playing table and is referred to as the skat. The game begins with 32 cards being dealt out with each player getting 10 cards. "It's a four-player game, it's a trick-taking game and a bidding game," Huisman explained comparing the game to Hearts or Euchre. Huisman had the honour of becoming a champion after winning last year's national championship. The game is called skat, a trump card game that originated in Germany back in the 1800s and remains the national card game. When Kristina Huisman was introduced to a random card game in 2011 to pass the time during her night shift, she never could have fathomed that a decade later she'd be the Canadian Champion.
