In skat, the deal follows a specific sequence to distribute 10 cards to each of the three players while setting aside two cards for the skat (or widow).
The cards are dealt in a three-two-four-three sequence:
* Three cards are dealt to each player.
* Two cards are dealt facedown to form the skat.
* Four cards are dealt to each player.
* Three cards are dealt to each player.
This process ensures that every player receives a total of 10 cards to begin the game.1
