  • They should have sent a poet. Words come short when it comes to describing this, the most perfect card deck ever produced. If you can only purchase one Italian card deck, it should be this one. Not unlike a Sicilian Nana, it combines everything that's great about Italy into one compact package.

    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.

    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.

    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!)

    • @Play-In-Games
      @Play-In-Games  Před rokem +1

      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.

    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.

    • @Play-In-Games
      @Play-In-Games  Před rokem +2

      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!

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

    • @Play-In-Games
      @Play-In-Games  Před rokem

      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!

      @RMS_Oceanic Před rokem +2

      @@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.

    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.
