What is the etymology of the English-language term? - Fsotrain09 21:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
This entry describes one kind of deck used in Italy to play this game, however it's perfectly possible to play it using an international deck, by simply removing the 8, 9, 10 and Jolly Joker cards. In the north-west of Italy French style decks are commonly used, while the deck described is used mostly in southern Italy. Mikelima ( talk) 09:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I was under the belief that the term for the face card of the woman was called the lady, or the donna, rather than the Knave, or the fante. Can someone please clarify this for me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.3.99 ( talk) 05:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
An anonymous user reversed the order of ace and three, saying that the three ranks higher than the ace. That's possible, but all sources I could find say otherwise. If the anonymous user was right, we would need a source that gets it right. Or is it a regional variation? -- Hans Adler ( talk) 11:38, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
The article states that when three or six players are involved the cards with the number two are removed. Another, I believe more common, practice is to remove the fours, since the fours don't rank high in tresette(as opposed to the twos, which are the second highest card in tresette). Briscola and Tresette are commonly played together (tresette till 21, then briscola till 3 and finally Bella, wich is tresette till 41). So it is quite unpractical to remove once the twos when playing briscola and some other card when playing tresette. I speak from experience since I live in the northern mediteran and I learned to play those games from my grandfather. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.143.211.221 ( talk • contribs)
Signals are an incredibly important part of Briscola game play. Not sure why the signaling info was removed? I see it's referenced as irrelevant...it's definitely not irrelevant as the game is not traditional Briscola (at least in Italy) if the signals aren't used. As for sourcing, it's referenced in several memoirs of Italian culture and considering it's common knowledge for most Italians, i think there's a challenge in finding a source but here's a source as well: http://www.pagat.com/aceten/briscola.html#signals Is there a good reason why that was removed?

I'd like to propose returning the signaling information to the article. Assuming they are used in Italy, Croatia, Slovenia and Puerto Rico, this seems like a good add, as it's integral to the game. The deleted information (which is the correct signaling in Northern Italy) read:
Never heard of such rules, and I played briscola for years. Without a reference, I'm going to remove them in a few days. -- Webwizard ( talk) 01:13, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
