  • Baraja Española Para Imprimir Pdf
    Baraja española para imprimir pdf Continue Publicado por: Admin Categoría: Blog Sin categoría Hace varios años había pensado en crear un juego de cartas o neumáticos, pero recuerdo que para hacer la interfaz de usuario no tengo las imágenes ni podía comprarlas, así que navegando por la red después de un tiempo encontré un conjunto completo de mapas gratuitos y los edité un poco para hacerlos ver más atractivos , de esta manera podría usarlos en mi proyecto. Teniendo en cuenta lo que me pasó, estaba pensando en hacer este post, especialmente para que puedas descargar mapas españoles (también llamados neumáticos o mapas españoles) y que no tengas que luchar para encontrarlos en la red. Es importante mencionar que también son muy útiles para imprimir en papel si tiene una impresora en su casa. Un detalle importante es que los siguientes conjuntos de tarjetas no tienen comodines, ya que en mi caso no los necesitaba, pero en silencio puedes buscarlos y añadirlos si los necesitas. Cualquier cosa puede decirme de todos modos. También es importante mencionar que las cartas se comprimen en una cremallera y se clasifican por sus palos. Descargar tarjetas imprimibles en español Si quieres crear un juego de cartas, hacer un tarot en línea o simplemente imprimirlas para que estén a mano, entonces te dejo el enlace para descargar fotos de Dropbox completamente gratis y sin virus informáticos.

  • BRISCA By: Galin Hernandez, 12/1/2019
    BRISCA By: Galin Hernandez, 12/1/2019 Brisca is a Spanish variant of the Italian card game “Briscola”. Although there is evidence of card games in Spain dating as far back as the 15th century, the earliest official reference to any card game in Spain appears in the 1837 law of Juan I, which forbade the use of cards. Brisca centers on a trump suite (Mano) where not all of the cards are dealt at the beginning of the game, but rather taken from the deck as the rounds are played. It is normally played by two or four players. It uses the “Spanish Deck” of cards which has 40 cards, numbers 1 thru 7 and 10 thru 12. There are no 8 or 9 cards in the deck. The aim is to collect more points than the opponents. The Cards: The most common design of the deck was created by Augusto Ríus, has been marketed by Fournier since 1889 and has lasted until today. Originally there were no numbers on the cards but these were added in 1989. Cards are divided in to four suites named Oro (Coin), Bastos (Clubs), Espadas (Swords) and Copas (Cups). It is believed these represent the four social classes during the feudal era; Royalty, Commoners, Military and Clergy. One interesting feature is the use of “pintas”, which are broken lines on the top and bottom of the face of the cards. Another interesting feature is that there are no female characters in the deck, a common theme taken from the feudal era. Cards have specific point values.

  • The Andrew Tucciarone Family
    THE ANDREW TUCCIARONE FAMILY 1800 – 1993 Dedicated to our parents Andrew and Rosaline Scarpine Tucciarone One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh, but the earth abideth forever. Ecclesiastes We leave the family history, delivered down from generation to generation, as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn. Adapted from Joseph Addison Compiled by Adeline Tucciarone Ackerman and Anna Mae Tucciarone Tomillo 1993 ANDREA TUCCIARONE The past is but the beginning of the beginning… H. G. Wells Where did our ancestors come from? How did they live? When did they come to America? These and many other questions have been voiced by the descendants of Andrea and Rosaline Scarpine Tucciarone. This chronicle aims to answer these questions and leave some remembrances of the descendants living in the 19th and 20th centuries. So this is the beginning, but the beginning begins in Italy. All that is known of the Tucciarone family begins with Guiseppi, the progenitor of a long line of Tucciarones in the United States. Guiseppi Tucciarone married Maria Antonia Piembia cir. 1800 cir. 1805 Biagio Tucciarone married Theresa Paparella cir. 1834 cir. 1840 Guiseppi, Concetta, Andrea, Guiditta, Daniel b.1874 married Rosaline Scarpine b. 1882 1 Andrea’s grandfather, Guiseppi, was born in Tufo, a Small town in the Provincia de Caserta, Italy, around 1800. Tufo is located north of Naples and south of Rome. Guiseppi’s son, Biagio, and Biagio’s son, Andrea, were also born in Tufo. As far as is known, Tufo was the birthplace of many past generations of Tucciarones. The way of life has changed very little from Grandfather Guiseppi’s time to that of his grandchildren, but Italy itself was changing.
