    I just had this exact thought today! I just moved to Italy and I've ended up with a Piacentine deck and I was wondering if something like solitaire existed so I could get used to the cards.
    That reminds me: I definitely want a video where you discuss all the different regional Italian decks.

      Amazing thanks! The Piacentine deck is my second favorite one, after the Sicilian one, of course. There is another version of Italian Solitaire that I filmed, hopefully I can share it this fall.
      I absolutely do want to do a video on all the regional decks. It’s expensive to buy all of them, which I would want to do. Maybe I’ll do it after the holidays as a present to myself.
      Thanks for watching!

    Hello man, i'm very very proud that a foreign player knows our games and above all that he is using Sicilian cards! Small note: here often prefer to play the Piramide with the card in the 1-6 lines faced down, and with the last line of 7 cards faced up. Regards from SICILY!

    • @Play-In-Games
      @Play-In-Games  2 роки тому +1

      That’s a very cool variation, I’m definitely going to try it! Sicilian cards are a cut above the rest, so the choice is an easy one. I appreciate the nice comment, grazij!

    Hope you'll be back someday with more videos! I just discovered your channel yesterday and I've since watched them all! Unmatched quality, your hard work is appreciated. Originally came for a refresher on Scopa, but I've learned so much more now

    • @Play-In-Games
      @Play-In-Games  2 роки тому

      Thanks so much for the nice encouragement! Thanks also for appreciating the work that goes into them. I really enjoy making these, although they are very time consuming side project! I'll have a new video up shortly.

      Thanks for watching, it means a lot! They’re a labor of love and I’m a bit slow on making them, but I’ll keep at it.

    Love your videos. Thanks for the professional style and clear explanations. Subscribed.
    I bought an Italian deck to play Scopa with and found your videos to explain the game, we were up and running in minutes.
    Addictive game for sure, now to try the Pyramide.
    I bought one of the Modiano “Extra” decks, nice thick cards.

    Such an awesome video to help, question though, I only go through the deck once right? Not like regular solitaire where you go back through ?

    • @Play-In-Games
      @Play-In-Games  2 роки тому +2

      Yes, you’re 100% correct. You only go through the deck once, unlike regular solitaire. However, also unlike regular solitaire, you go one card at a time, giving yourself 19 chances to clear the pyramid. Hope that helps, it’s a great solitaire variation that never gets old. Thanks for watching!

    Great video Chris 👍 I notice that italian decks are very perfect to be used to play gap solitaire. Since it takes up less space than using poker decks

    • @Play-In-Games
      @Play-In-Games  Місяць тому

      Yes very true. I love them for that. 52 card solitaires can get very messy. I usually bring the mignon (mini) Italian deck on trips. Thanks!

    Hi Chris. Not sure if there's a best way to contact you but I'm loving the videos, and I'd love to chat with you about Italian card games for a book I'm working on about games round the world. If there's a best way to drop you a line and you're interested, please let me know!

    and I just received my first deck of Italian cards in the mail today (and do they make me feel like a klutz!)

    • @Play-In-Games

      Thanks for watching! Congrats on jumping into Italian style cards. Solitaire is a great way to get used to them, you’ll be a pro at identifying the kings from the Fante in no time!

    When one uses standard bridge deck it's easier to remove Js, Qs and Ks, so all cards will have their value shown 😜

    • @Play-In-Games
      @Play-In-Games  8 місяців тому

      True, but all good Italian games need to be a little complicated 😂

    would a spanish 50 carta deck work too?
