Tripletta is missing a word - “and each card in their has the same Rank” - I get that it’s supposed to say ‘pocket’ but I don’t think it’s a correctable typo as the meaning is ambiguous.

I will say that this sounds weirdly anachronistic - much more in keeping with a modern board game than with a trad card game that has been passed down from the 16th Century.

[Josh] It feels a bit like an unsynchronised compendium game, although even those don’t seem to date back much further than the 19th century.

I’m not really sure how much this particular concept adds, though, when the random cards dealt to players are already limiting which Tricks are relevant (if there’s no Sun or Moon, nobody is getting a Universo, etc).

@Kevan, the idea at least in theory is to reduce the complexity of an individual game. If you have nine ways to score, trying to figure out the optimal order to play your cards can become pretty tricky and the game could turn into “who can write a computer program that optimizes the problem” which is no fun.

Limiting the ways to score in a game helps reduce the scope of what’s needed computationally.

Good point about Universo though. we might want to fix that if this passes

I agree that we probably shouldn’t have nine Tricks, but three of the four that exist right now are easy enough to check at the start of a game, aren’t they? Il Toro is unusable if you literally don’t have cards that add up to 27, and Il Propore is unusable if you don’t have three of a suit.
