Thank you!

Those suit color ideas for the court cards are really cool! Love that detail. Overall really love how this deck sticks to 4 colors (6 if counting black and white) as a theme.

Agreed, it keeps it simple yet stylish.

Love this deck so far! Now I'm waiting for my Siciliane deck to arrive 👍

I love this series that you are doing. You mentioned how you rank this deck against some others, once you have done them all, do you plan on doing a summary video where you rank you personal picks? An overview that categorizes the regions and by suit type would fit in nicely in that summary as well.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Yes the plan is to do a final wrap up, as along as I don’t burn out before then. Thanks for watching!

0:56 i bought this deck , at emiglia romagna, for 50 cents xD

This is the card deck I have from Italy. The games I learned to play in Italy were Scopa and Briscola.

3:30 The colour blue for the clothing of Italian sportsmen was chosen as a tribute to the colours of the House of Savoy after the unification of Italy in 1861: in fact, the precise name of the colour is Savoy blue or Savoy azure, since it's light.

I disliked the deck at first, I found it ugly, but I got very used to it playing Tressette via internet. Now I like it. It's very legible.

I was psyched for this one, since my family is from Napoli. These are the cards I played with as a child, and they feel small in the hand now that I’m an adult. I remember them seeming larger, though I think that’s a trick of the mind. Do you prefer the Dal Negro, Modiano, or some other brand? I have three Modiano decks, but I was looking to get others.

I'm so glad to hear it, I have many friends and neighbors whose families hail from Napoli and I love visiting that magical bay. The cards are small, but mighty. My preference has been the Dal Negro brand. The two major brands are very similar, but to those of us who care a little too much, there are some differences. The Dal Negro's seem to have more finer details and shading, which makes for a personal preference on whether you want broader/brighter cards or finer/moodier ones. I also feel like there is a different card feel, the Dal Negros feel a bit more glossy, if that makes sense. If you dig a bit deeper, both brands make special versions of their more popular regional decks, the Napoletane is almost always included in those printings and I'll bet they've made some nice premium versions. Thanks for the comment and keep playing!

hey chris! i love this series and wanted to thank you for introducing me to these regional card decks. the videos are so well made and ive enjoyed sharing them with my partner and friends. i wanted to ask: do you happen to know the difference between the various modiano napoletane decks (97/25, 97/31, etc.)? is it just different packaging, different sizes, different materials? it’s weirdly difficult to find more info online so any help is much appreciated!

I’m happy to hear it and thanks for sharing the videos! My best guess for the numbering is that it refers to the trim size and type of card stock. Some of the decks I have, which have differing numbers. usually have different card material, such as thick paper card and plastic. I’ll let you know if I come by additional info. Thanks for watching!

I do have to ask, how come you have these deck videos numbered, but aren't releasing them in numerical order? Not criticizing, just confused

@Play-In-Games

Жыл бұрын

Great question. The cards have a numbering 1-16 on many “official” sites and I am honoring that numbering. However they take different times for me to edit, due to when I received the cards, difficulty of the edit and other delays. If you check out the playlist dedicated to Italian Regional decks on here, you’ll see that I’m reordering them numerical. Thanks!

Do you like soccer? Cuz the next World Cup in 2026 will have more countries competing than in the last Cup, and Italy hasn't competed in a World Cup in a while, so maybe it will have another chance to shine.
