My 32 card Hungarian deck is a William Tell Ulti / Tartli deck and just coincidentally has the right counts for Piquet
Also TIL Magyars call the German bell suit "tök" which is like Pumpkin or Gourd 🎃♥️
My dedicated piquet pack has arrived
One pack I thought was going to be 54-card Austrian Tarock was actually 36-card Bavarian Tarock which I already had 😭
@britown As an Austrian, card games across Bavaria and Austria are complicated 😅
@britown if you can find them, get these from Piatnik: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrie_und_Gl%C3%BCck?wprov=sfti1
@thomasfuchs thank you! I have a piatnik #1934 on it's way someday that says 54 blatt Tarock on the front so I'm thinking that will be the winner!
We're hoping to learn how to play Strohmandeln 😂
