Proposal: Tognoli and the Bones

Reached quorum 6 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 28 Mar 2021 16:34:24 UTC

Change the effect of the Tognoli to read:

Tognoli gains 1 extra point whenever they score Tripletta, Il Propore, or L’Ossa.

Add the following new tricks to the “Tricks” rule in the ruleset:

- L’Ossa: The Player’s Pocket has at least three cards, and the least recently-Played of them has the same Suit or Rank as the Game’s Grand Canal. Points: 1
- Il Corpo Celeste: The Player’s Pocket contains at least one of Sun, Moon, or Star, and the Heft of their most recently-Played card is higher than the Heft of their opponent’s most recently-Played card. Points: 1

Arrange the Tricks list in the ruleset in alphabetical order.

kevan said on the most recent tognoli effect change that it was a bit fiddly and didn’t feel like a real card game. here’s my attempt to return the tognoli mask to its original vibes while still buffing it, and in the process add a couple of Tricks! the reason for adding Il Corpo Celeste is that having more than 6 tricks in Giolitti makes the Sun, Moon, and Star automatically weaker. it’s still possible the two astronomical tricks could be the ones left out, but less likely this way!

Tentative for

I think we might want to consider rethinking how tricks work.

The idea with limiting it to 6 was to keep the games simpler. But in many ways, you need stuff like Il Verme to counter L’Arias and make a low hand not be completely terrible. Aligning your cards to form Il Toros is a huge part of the game. Adding more tricks runs the risk of getting games that lack some of this balance.

I do like both trick ideas. I also think we can expand on the whole “most recently played card” thing - turning death into “If a player’s most recently played card is death, neither player can score” would make it far less suffocating, so good to see ideas introduce that.

@ clucky those are good points!! what if we had a couple of core tricks– 2 or 3, like L’Aria, Il Verme, and Il Toro, for example– and then the rest were randomized? or if tricks were like a draft?

i think i know what my next proposal will be, once i get to make another :0
