@@AresCosmos137 Great :) I've recently discovered tressette and am very surprised - a very simple, but playable game. One of best simple card games for 4 players and by far the best game for 2 players.

The quality of your videos is 💯💯

These ones are my favorite too. We played scopa at my wife's Nonna's house a lot. My grandpa taught me the game too when I was young, but he was also a great depression child so he used a regular deck of 52 with the 8, 9, and 10s taken out. I always loved watching Clara's videos, I can smell my grandpa's house when I watch them, and it makes me think of how much I used to eat like her as a kid, pasta with beans, pasta with chick peas, dandelion salad is my favorite, potatoes and eggs, etc. Keep the legacy going! Nice videos. Sonny from MA

Thank you!

I've just ordered Sicilian and Piacentine :D Beautiful cards. Maybe there will be an occasion to play Tressete with them - very good game. I've just learnt it. At first it's strange there's no trump, but it seems it's more resonable when there is no bidding.

I played a game of Scope this week with this deck that I have recently acquired. Great set of cards!

and the videos are excellent. We have mastered Scopa, and next we will try Briscola. Thanks for your work on these.

I've only watched this video at the time of writing, but it's self evident that the Sicilian regional deck is the superior choice!

I fully endorse this statement!

I’m living in Treviso (but I’m Australian) and this is my fave deck from an aesthetic perspective.

The best Italians are French! But we can agree that this is a most beautiful deck and I especially like the little subplot going on with the little added pictures on each one to give your mind somewhere to wander to while you're waiting for others to play their damned card (some people take so long!)

Interesting, I’ve always heard that the best French are Italians 😂 Glad we can agree on the cards! Yes they have fun little illustrations and since they’re Italian you can make up stories and say they’re true, because, you know, it’s regional.

The profile on the 2 of coins is not Garibaldi, but Vittorio Emanuele II, first king of Italy

Yes, my mistake, back to Italian history 101 with me!

Im from greece and I want every deck so bad (expect the breciane if i wrote it right) and we learn history about rome now

I always thought the 2 of coins was depicting king Vittorio Emmanuele 2, based on the facial hair. Also a correction: Sicily was not part of Sardinia-Piedmont prior to the unification. Instead it was part of the kingdom of the two sicilies.

Oh, interesting, I think you're correct. That makes a lot of sense as he was the king of Sardinia and then the whole of Italy. I'll have to add this as a correction if I do a round up video. Thanks for the catch!

Since it is right in the middle....any idea which deck the Calabrese prefer? The Napolitano o Siciliano? Excellent quality video btw guagliu'!

Great question. The Napoli deck seems to dominate in that area, but I’d be curious to know what some real Calabrese say.

Beautiful cards. But I must protest when you're saying they're the geatest across the world. The greatest, or at least the most beautiful, cards are Silesian German cards painted by Franciszek Bunsch. Just check them out. You should make a review of them. The only problem with them, as with (almost) all German cards is that there is only 32 of them :( There should be at least 40 of them, but how the history of 20th century teaches us - the Germans are weird.

I today got Siciliane and Piacentine. Why are Siciliane that small? :O

I have been looking everywhere for a Sicilian deck. No luck. Any ideas where I could buy them on-line? Dal Negro sees to ship only to Italy - and I am in Canada.

Sicilia was actually part of the Kingdom of the two Sicilies not Sardinia-Piedmont. Just a small correction.

@Play-In-Games

Жыл бұрын

That is correct prior to the Risorgimento, however in 1860 it was annexed by the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Kingdom of Sardinia (along with the newly annexed Sicily) joined the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. So it was a short time, but the relationship of the Island nations of Sicily and Sardinia to Catholic Spain had a strong enough influence that they chose the Spanish style cards over the N. Italian ones. That said my history is a bit rusty!

@@Play-In-Games Sardinia's capital was actually in Torino as it's main base was in Piedmont despite the name having Sardinia first, so they could've only brought French cards. Personally I think that when Spain controlled Naples and Sicily(16-17th century I think) they brought their own cards over there. No offense tho. For how many things you taught me about all these different cards I can only be thankful that I am able to teach you something aswell :)
