Orrgrn of THE.SWISS NATIONAL CARP-PLAY oRrGrNoF THE.SWISSNATIONAL CARP-PLAY ':JAS9" (ln variouslibrary archived research papers the following is recorded) Playingcards were inventedin ancientChina. They were foundin Chinaas earlyas the 9th century duringthe Tang Dynasty (618-907) The first referenceto card gamesin worldhistory dates from the 9th century,when the Collectionof Miscellaneaat Duyang,written by TangDynasty writer Su E, describedPrincess Tongchang (daughter of EmperorYizong of fang) playingthe "leafgame" in 868with members of theWei clan(the family of the princess'husband) The Song Dynasty(960-1279) scholar Ouyang Xiu (1007-1072)asserted that playingcards and card gamesexisted at leastsince the midTang Dynasty, and associated their invention with the simultaneous developmentof usingsheets or pagesinstead of paperrolls as a writingmedium. The firstknown book on cardscalled Yezi Gexi was allegedlywritten by a Tang era woman,and was commentedon by Chinesewriters of subsequentdynasties. By the 11thcentury, playing cards could be foundthroughout the Asiancontinent. During the Ming Dynasty(1368-1 644), characters from popular novels such as theWater Margin were widely featured on thefaces of playingcards. Playingcards first entered Europe in the late14th century, probably from Mamluk Egypt, with suits (sets of cardswith matching designs) very similar to the tarotsuits of Swords,Staves, Cups and Coins(also knownas disks),and pentacles,and whichare stillused in traditionalltalian, Spanish and Portuguese decks.The first documentary evidence is a banon theiruse in 1367,Bern, Switzerland. Theirpresence is attestedin Catalonrain 1371.Wide use of playingcards in Europecan, with some certainty,be tracedfrom 1377 onwards. In the late 14th century,the use of playingcards spread rapidlythroughout Europe. Documents mentioningcards date from 1371 in Spain,1377 in Swrtzerland,and 1380in manylocations including Florenceand Paris.A 1369Paris ordinance (on gamingl?) does not mention cards, but its 1377update does ln theaccount books of Johanna,Duchess of Brabantand Wenceslausl, Dukeof Luxemburg,an entrydated May 14, 1379 reads:"Given to Monsieurand Madamefour peters,two forms,value eight and a half moutons, wherewithto buya packof cards".In his bookof accountsfor 1392or 1393,Charles or CharbotPoupart, treasurerof the householdof CharlesVl of France,recordspayment for the paintingof threesets of cards. In Switzerland,the nationalgame is Jass. lt is played with decks of 36 cards. West of the Brunig-Napf-Reussline, a FrenCh-style36-card deck is used,with numbers from 6 to 10,Jacks, Queens, Kingsand Aces. The same kind of deckis usedin GraubUndenand in partsof Thurgau. In CentralSwitzerland, ZUrich, Schaffhausen and EasternSwitzerland, the prevalentdeck consists of 36 playingcards with the followingsuits: Roses, Bells, Acorns and Shields(in German:Rosen, Schellen, Eichelnund Schilten).The ranksof the alternatedeck, from low to high,are: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ("Banner"), Unter(lower jack), Ober (higher jack), King and Ace. In Germanysuits may havedifferent appearances. Many Eastern and southernGermans prefer decks withHearts, Bells, Leaves, and Acorns (for Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, and Clubs), as mentionedabove. ln the game Skat, EastGerman players used the Germandeck, while playersin WesternGermany mainlyused the Frenchdeck. After the reunificationa compromisedeck was createdfor officialSkat tourniments,with French symbols but German colours (green Spades and yellow Diamonds). Thereare of coursein manycountries in otherparts of theworld cards are nova days played, and the cardsof thesedecks are illustrated with a specialpicture series, usually on a themewith particular relationto the historicalbackground of thosecountries.

  • SWISS JASS Rules
    SWISS JASS Rules Introduction to the basics Many of the popular play card games in Switzerland, especially in the German speaking cantons, belong to the JASS group, and are played with characteristic Swiss cards, which are known as JASS KARTEN (JASS CARDS). JASS has become so popular in Switzerland that even games which got nothing to do with the JASS group, are sometimes described as kinds of JASS, and the verb “jassen” has come to mean “playing any card game with the Swiss play cards”. Swiss JASS games have a number of basic features in common that will be described on this page to define and clarify their application. These features are: - The rank and values of the cards - The trick-taking rules. The rank and values of the cards A standard JASS pack has 36 cards, containing 4 different “suits” (Schellen, Schilten, Eicheln, Rosen) of 9 cards each. In the non-German speaking cantons, a French suited pack - Coeur (Hearts),Carreau (Diamonds),Pique (Clubs) and Trèfle (Spades ) is used instead of the Swiss suited one, being the cards in each suit : As (Ace), Roi (King), Dame (Queen) , Valet (Jack), Dix (Ten), Neuf (Nine), Huit (Eight), Sept (Seven), and Six (Six). Hearts and diamonds are the red-colored suits, whereas the clubs and spades are black. JASS games are point-trick games. In the simplest version of the game, played without “trumpf”, the rank of the cards in each suit, from highest to lowest, and their values in card points, are as follows: Deutsch (German) English Français (French) Points Ass Ace As 11 König King Roi 4 Ober/Dame Queen Dame 3 Under/Bube Jack Valet 2 Banner/ Zehner Ten Dix 10 Neuner Nine Neuf 0 Achter Eight Huit 0 Siebener Seven Sept 0 Sechser Six Six 0 In addition, whoever wins the last “trick”, gets an extra 5 card points.

    U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration REGISTER A Daily Summary of Motor Carrier Applications and of Decisions and Notices Issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration DECISIONS AND NOTICES RELEASED January 24, 2020 -- 10:30 AM NOTICE Please note the timeframe required to revoke a motor carrier's operating authority for failing to have sufficient levels of insurance on file is a 33 day process. The process will only allow a carrier to hold operating authority without insurance reflected on our Licensing and Insurance database for up to three (3) days. Revocation decisions will be tied to our enforcement program which will focus on the operations of uninsured carriers. This process will further ensure that the public is adequately protected in case of a motor carrier crash. Accordingly, we are adopting the following procedure for revocation of authority; 1) The first notice will go out three (3) days after FMCSA receives notification from the insurance company that the carrier's policy will be cancelled in 30 days. This notification informs the carrier that it must provide evidence that it is in full compliance with FMCSA's insurance regulations within 30 days. 2) If the carrier has not complied with FMCSA's insurance requirements after 30 days, a final decision revoking the operating authority will be issued.

  • Genii Session 2007-12 Brief Updated History Of
    Genii Session By Roberto Giobbi A Brief Updated History of Playing Cards When I published the German version of Card College Volume 1 in 1992, I included a short essay on the history of playing cards. In later editions I expanded on it and made a few corrections, among other smaller things I had committed a bigger mistake, namely that of assuming that today’s playing cards originated from tarot cards. The truth, as so often, is exactly the opposite, because playing cards were already in use in Europe in the second half of the 14th century whereas the game of Tarocchi and with it the Tarot cards was only invented in the first part of the 15th century in Italy. These mistakes were corrected in later editions of Card College and I’m therefore publishing this updated version of my essay for the benefit of all those who have the first few editions (we now have about 19,000 copies of Card College Volume 1 in the market). At the end of the essay I have also added a small annotated bibliography for all who would like to obtain more information about playing cards, their history, use, symbolism etc., a most fascinating subject. Rather than calling playing cards a prop, as it is often done in the literature, I would like to consider them to be an instrument of the card conjurer, like the piano or the violin is an instrument to a musician, and I would even dare saying that cards are the most important and most widely used instrument in all of conjuring.

  • Troggen Abaroque Game of Tarot from Solothurn
    1 TROGGEN A BAROQUE GAME OF TAROT FROM SOLOTHURN Troggen is a tarot game played with an Italian suited tarot deck of 78 cards, commonly known as «Tarot de Marseille». If no such deck is available, any Tarot deck of 78 cards may be used. The card game tarot and its characteristic cards originated around 1430 in northern Italy. The oldest surviving cards were made in Milan. They were hand-painted in 1441 on the occasion of Francesco Sforza's marriage to Bianca Maria Visconti. In the early 16th century, French and Swiss mercenaries got to know the game in northern Italy and brought it back to their home countries. The Solothurn region was a centre of playing card production in Switzerland in the 18th century. The oldest surviving tarot cards in Switzerland were designed in the city of Solothurn in 1718. We know from historical sources that Troggen, as Tarock was called in Solothurn at that time, was very popular. In the course of the 19th century, other card games with French suits such as Whist, Bridge and finally the originally Dutch Jass replaced Troggen in Solothurn. In Switzerland, tarot has survived as a card game in Visperterminen and in the Surselva. Since the rules of Troggen originally applied in Solothurn are not documented, the Historical Museum Blumenstein in Solothurn redefined the rules of the game in 2015. In doing so, we relied on the very original rules of Troggu still played in Visperterminen and supplemented them with some elements of the modern French tarot. Our Troggen rules are designed to make it as easy as possible for new players to get into the game, while maximising the fun.

  • A Game-Centric Approach to Teaching Artificial Intelligence
    A Game-centric Approach to Teaching Artificial Intelligence Marc Pouly a and Thomas Koller b and Ruedi Arnold c School of Information Technology, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland Keywords: Teaching Artificial Intelligence, Card Game Playing Platform, Open Source Software, Student Competition, Contextualized Education. Abstract: Man vs. machine competitions have always been attracting much public attention and the famous defeats of human champions in chess, Jeopardy!, Go or poker undoubtedly mark important milestones in the history of artificial intelligence. In this article we reflect on our experiences with a game-centric approach to teaching artificial intelligence that follows the historical development of algorithms by popping the hood of these cham- pion bots. Moreover, we made available a server infrastructure for playing card games in perfect information and imperfect information playing mode, where students can evaluate their implementations of increasingly sophisticated game-playing algorithms in weekly online competitions, i.e. from rule-based systems to exhaus- tive and heuristic search in game trees to deep learning enhanced Monte Carlo methods and reinforcement learning completely freed of human domain knowledge. The evaluation of this particular course setting re- vealed enthusiastic feedback not only from students but also from the university authority. What started as an experiment became part of the standard computer science curriculum after just one implementation. 1 INTRODUCTION the legendary victories of IBM Deep Blue against the chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov in 1997 (Camp- The online news platform New Atlas coined 2017 as bell et al., 2002) and IBM Watson against two human Jeopardy! champions in a series of public TV shows The year AI beat us at all our own games in 2011 (Kelly and Hamm, 2013), to the most recent referring to the memorable victory of DeepMind’s Al- breakthroughs in Go, poker and various eSports dis- phaGo Master against Ke Jie, the world No.
