''Giolitti'' is a two-player trick-taking card game thought to have been played widely across northern Italy in the 17th and early 18th century. Despite its popularity, the culture of the game was unusually secretive in nature and little is known about its rules today, beyond the fact that it was played with a tarot deck (most likely a version of the Tarocco Bolognese) and that its trump suit may have reflected and satirised political characters of the time. Cartlesham (1912) suggests that the “Traditore” trump card, which reappears across all known versions of the game, may represent a high-ranking figure from the court of the Doge of Venice, although contemporary sources and card illustrations appear to disagree over the individual’s exact identity.

Ascension Address: Giolitti As It Is Played

Giolitti is a two-player trick-taking card game thought to have been played widely across northern Italy in the 17th and early 18th century. Despite its popularity, the culture of the game was unusually secretive in nature and little is known about its rules today, beyond the fact that it was played with a tarot deck (most likely a version of the Tarocco Bolognese) and that its trump suit may have reflected and satirised political characters of the time. Cartlesham (1912) suggests that the “Traditore” trump card, which reappears across all known versions of the game, may represent a high-ranking figure from the court of the Doge of Venice, although contemporary sources and card illustrations appear to disagree over the individual’s exact identity.

Replace “Doge” with “Dealer” and “Elector” with “Player”.

Players

The following players were active at the start of the Dynasty:

Brendan, Bucky, Clucky, Cuddlebeam, Darknight, Josh, Jumble, Kevan, pokes, Raven1207, Zack

And at the end:

Brendan, Clucky, Darknight, Josh, Jumble, Kevan, lemonfanta, pokes, Raven1207

  • DomiNO changed Imperial Deferentials so that player DEFs were not counted when the Emperor voted DEF
  • Things Are Still Broken altered ascension to include an Interregnum stage, and to uphold all game actions during the dynasty as valid
  • Favours introduced the interdynastic currency of Favours (which would soon become a Special Case rule): players could grant Favours to others in exchange for this dynasty's Pegs, on the understanding that those Favours could be cashed back the other way as anything in the next dynasty
  • Solo Effort added a "No Collaboration" special case rule to try out in future (it was switched on two dynasties later in The Eighth Dynasty of Clucky)
  • Asterisks to Asterisks replaced asterisks with the "Rare" keyword, for Special Case rules like No Collaboration which default to inactive

Ascension

At the end of the third Crown Match, Josh was named Capofamiglia and declared victory. A complicated victory-share system included Josh's co-conspirators, Brendan and lemonfanta, and a loose collection of other affiliates and occasionally rivals; but the dice roll resulted in lemonfanta being handed the mantle.
