If no 'Trumpf' is played the highest value scores. In every round each player looses one of his card and the one which played the 'Trumpf' card with the highest value gets all the played cards. Each card has a value and one suit is called 'Trumpf'. Two of the players are playing against a single one but are not allowed to communicate. There are many variants, but here is the principle: The game is usually played with three persons. Maxis' hit The Sims is the only notable exception.Skat 2095 is a simulation of the card game skat and the successor of Skat 2010. The success of these franchises varies, but none matched that of the original SimCity.

Maxis was also approached by companies to design business aids SimRefinery is one example. Some of these attempts include SimAnt, SimFarm, SimEarth, SimLife, SimTower, SimIsle and SimHealth. It also released some non-sim titles, such as 1991's RoboSport and the well-known 1995 3D Pinball for Windows, which has been included as one of the standard system games in many Windows releases.Īfter such success with the SimCity series, Maxis tried various other Sim-titles. The SimCity series has since been updated to include SimCity 2000 (1993), SimCity 3000 (1999), SimCity 3000: Unlimited (2000), SimCity 4 (2003). The title went on to become, statistically, one of the most popular and successful video games of all time. The reason for this is because SimCity wasn't a traditional game that had definite 'win' and 'lose' conditions. Before then, the game was only available on a limited basis on the Commodore 64 due to few publishers showing any interest in porting it. Maxis was founded in 1987 by Will Wright and 'idea guy' Jeff Braun to help publish SimCity on home computers.

Maxis has also released games developed by other production houses, such as A-Train and SimTower. Maxis founder Will Wright likens them as 'digital dollhouses'. Most Maxis titles are simulation-based, though none are considered traditional simulations.

These titles and their related products are the brand's most popular and successful lines. Maxis is the creator of the best-selling computer game of all time, The Sims and its sequel The Sims 2. It is currently a subsidiary of Electronic Arts (EA). Maxis Software is an American company founded as an independent video game developer in 1987.
