ASS Altenburger Skat playing cards

ASS Altenburger is a venerable German brand with roots dating back to 1765 in the city of Altenburg, often called the 'City of Playing Cards'. The product shown is a Skat deck, a traditional German card game, featuring large corner signs for seniors. The brand and its manufacturing facility are deeply embedded in German cultural history. Since 2002, the company has been part of the Cartamundi Group based in Belgium. Cartamundi is the world's largest manufacturer of playing cards and board games, but it continues to maintain the Altenburger factory as a key production site for the German-speaking market, ensuring the cards are still 'Made in Germany' as indicated by the seal on the packaging.
