Quodlibet (Latin: "what you like") is a traditional card game and drinking game associated with central European student fraternities that is played with William Tell pattern cards and in which the dealer is known as the 'beer king'.[1][2] It is a compendium, trick-taking game for 4 players using a 32-card pack of German-suited playing cards.[1] The Bavarian game of Rumpel is descended from Quodlibet.[3]
