I offer a Sfida again!

Hello fellow giolitto, I accept!
Clucky: he/him
I play a Sun
pokes:
A measly celestial body as a first play? Wearing Arlecchino? That’s gonna be a Sfida, bud.
Clucky: he/him
I wave to Josh and accept your Sfida
Josh: he/him
Oh yeah it’s Clucky’s turn for real now
Kevan: he/him
(This game was missing its Environment link, which has now been added. Previous moves were all, I assume, invalid - up to the players whether they repeat them, or CfJ to re-deal the game, or something else.)
pokes:
I’m up for an agreement to repeat moves so far if we’re agreed that moves so far are invalid - Clucky?
Clucky: he/him
yeah I donno if we can just say “we repeat” but I will for my first move play a sun
Clucky: he/him
I will then offer a Sfida
pokes:
I accept, and sfida back.
Clucky: he/him
I accept!
pokes:
I play the 8 of Coins.

Josh: he/him
This is gripping
Clucky: he/him
I haven’t followed all of them but certainly the most tense game of Giolitti I’ve played
pokes:
10 of Coins; Aria and Toro again, scoring 5, total 17.
Wew, excellent game. Sometimes you have to watch someone hit that straight draw.
Clucky: he/him
gg. Was certainly holding my breath before you played that 10 to see if you were gonna do something like Knight/Nine/King to get your Toro. You just got a classic case of “great hand, but the wrong great hand for that particular game”
Have to go back and see, but 17 has gotta be a record for a loss, right?
Kevan: he/him
Game is Clean. Clucky wins 3 Pegs and 3 Magistrelli; Pokes loses 3 Pegs.
No Peg gain from Masks. Arlecchino gains Moda.
