In “Tournament Rules of Giolitti”, change
If they were not the last player in the game to do so, either player in a Game may post a Sfida, which a comment that says it is a Sfida. Before either player may make their next Play or post another Sfida, the opponent of the player posting Sfida must respond with a comment specifying whether they accept or reject the Sfida. If they accept, the stakes of the Game are increased by 1, up to a maximum of 3. If they reject, the Game is Closed, and the player posting the Sfida is the Game’s Campione.

If less than two Plays have been made, either player may instead post a Double Sfida, which is a post saying that it is a Double Sfida and should contain three of the poster’s cards in their hand. A Double Sfida is the same as a normal Sfida, but if it is accepted, the stakes are set to 5. If a Double Sfida contains any cards that are not in the player’s hand, or has less than three cards, the dealer should comment a Fine in the game the illegal Double Sfida happened naming the player.
A bit like bidding ‘nil’ in Spades. I thought that would be interesting to add on the existing bidding system we already have.
not a fan of blind nil in Spades
CoV having actually read it
Clucky: he/him
I’m a bit worried that if I post
“Double Sfida: Magician, Devil, 6 of Batons” and I have those cards in my hand, that is a valid double Sfida. However, if I do not have those cards in my hand what happens? There is nothing that says that wouldn’t be Fine. I believe it just wouldn’t actually be a valid Double Sfida (though could maybe still be considered a normal Sfida though probably not). This means I could trick you into thinking we were playing a stakes 5 game with three cards you think are in my hand, but really we’re just playing a stakes 1 game with none of those cards in my hand.
