Good luck Josh! Knave of Cups.

And buena suerte to you to, mi amigo.

King o’ Swords.

10 of Coins, and I claim L’Aria for 1 point.

8 of Cups, L’Ossa for 1.

Can you claim that trick with only two cards in your Pocket? I thought the Canal only counted for my pocket on your turn.

Right you are: belay that ossa

Ace of Swords, and I claim L’Ossa and Il Toro for a combined 5 points.

World, and I’ll claim Toro for 5.

Knave of Coins, and I claim Il Toro for 4 more points.

Lightning, and I’ll take L’Ossa for 2.

10 of Batons, and I claim Il Toro and L’Aria for a combined 5 points.  I believe this puts my running score at 18.

And this comment is a Sfida, as I don’t yet see how you’re going to stage a comeback.

I bet on Brendan, the Juice is 3.

Oh, I’m just getting started; I accept your sfida, and sfida in return.

i bet on josh & juice is 2.

I hate when you make me do math, Josh. I reject the sfida.

Well hustled

Game is Clean. Josh gains 2 Pegs and 2 Magistrelli; Brendan loses 2 Pegs.

Brendan then gains 2 Pegs for (per the Environment) wearing Bonanno at the time of the game’s closure, Josh gains none. Pantalone Moda increases.
