If you’re ever in Branson, MO check out their board game cafe. It has to be one of the best in the country and they have a decent amount of traditional card games including a Bahama Taxi board (which you’ll have to ask for). I think you and your audience would love the place.
the spades on helmets during D-day where lot a good luck charm, they where for rapidly identifing what unit a soldier was from, some men had harts, clovers or diamonds. only the 506th had spades, wikipedia gets this one wrong.
I have 4 French pattern decks from different manufactures (Cartamundi, Ducale, an advertising firm and Dal Negro) who all have a 1 as index on the ace instead of A. Dal Negro and Ducale have the exact same stamp on the clubs as shown in 2:14 with their logo underneath. They also both have the names of the corresponding historical figures printed on the court cards, which I found quite interesting. Cartamundi has their logo on the ace of spades. I sadly couldn't find anything on the advertisement deck.
@@Play-In-Games I bought the Dal Negro and Cartamundi decks from a supermarket in 2021, so not that long ago! The other ones came from thrift shops though, thus I don't know in which year they were produced.
The night Cliff Burton from Metallica died he drew cards with Kirk. Whoever got the high card got the top bunk. Kirk drew a 10, Cliff drew an Ace of Spades.
Hey Chris, do you know something about the german card game of Skat? I hope you do, trying to learn this game has given me a very confusing and hard time.
As it happens, I’m planning to meet up with some Germans next month and have them show me how. I want to make sure I get it right, it’s an important classic.
I might not know exactly why they choose the spades as their Symbol. But it seems like the ace of spades actually appears naturally on a whales body part m.ru-vid.comCpe5Lo8Mgfg
