What period style card deck do u use? Do u have any favorite? :D And Thanks for the video!

[@LynneFairchild]

Glad you enjoyed the video! In the video, I am using a modern deck. However, I do have a favorite period style deck (which is pictured on Part 1 of this video at kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXnMaaiLfchkf80 ). The period deck of cards was purchased over a decade ago at Pillaged Village's shop at Pennsic.

Hi there, thanks for great video! Please could you explain how you win? Is it the hand of the highest value or the hand with the best ‘hand’? Eg, chorus, fluxus.

Thanks! "Like poker, the goal is to have the highest-ranked hand after several rounds of wagering, although the exact rules differed among numerous regional variants (this too, is much like poker)." boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/29764/primero

Higher ranking hands beat lower ranking ones, the value of a hand is only important if the two best types are tied. So a chorus will beat a primero, but if two players have a primero then the highest value wins. It's basically a tie breaker
