Gnav is a traditional game that is played with either cards or wooden pieces. Related games are Gnaio, Cuccù, Hexenspiel or Vogelspiel, Kille (also called Cambio, Campio, Camphio, Camfio or Kamfio), Coucou and Ranter Go Round. The game can be played by 20 or more players, and a minimum of two. History of the game The earliest reference to the game dates to 1490 France where it was known by the name of Mécontent (Malcontent) and was played with a standard 52-card deck. Such a game is still played today in France as Coucou ("cuckoo") and also in English speaking countries as Cuckoo or Ranter-Go-Round. The earliest reference of Malcontento in Italy dates from 1547 (“Capriccio in laude del Malcontento” by Luigi Tansillo of Naples). It was in the early 18th century that the first dedicated decks for Cuccu (Cuccù, Cucco, Cucu’ or Stu) appeared which consisted of 38 cards.

Other English-language names include Chase the Ace and, in America, Screw Your Neighbor which, however, is a name also used for other games. It is related to the dedicated deck card or tile games of Gnav and Killekort. History Ranter Go Round is described as early as 1881. The game "is said to have been first played in Cornwall," however Cuckoo has been played in Europe since at least the 17th century, often with special cards. An 1882 account describes Ranter Go Round as "a first-rate game for a winter evening." Players have three lives in the form of counters, receive one card each and exchange with their left-hand neighbours, the dealer exchanging with the stock. Players may stand i.e. refuse to exchange if they believe they have a card high enough not to lose. There are no cards with special privil ...

Kille (card Game)
Kille (pronounced or ), also called Harlequin, Cambio, Campio, Kambio or Kamfio, is a game played with special playing cards, dating from a mediaeval French gambling game. In Sweden, the game had its heyday during the 1750s, but it is one of the oldest card games still played.Insert sheet in Killelek from Offason. ''Regler för Killespelet – Historik''. Dan Glimne. History The French gambling game of Coucou was invented in France around 1500 and spread across Central Europe. In the late 17th century, an Italian manufacturer produced a deck of cards adapted for the game. The game was named Cuccú after its highest card. Cuccú had 38 cards and two cards of each denomination (thus 19 unique denominations). Eleven of the cards in each suite were numeral cards, numbered 0-10. The other cards were picture cards, two of which – the Bucket and the Masque – ranked lower than the numerals. Five of the cards were ranked higher: the Inn, Cat, Horse, Guard, and Cuckoo (highest).

Coucou
Coucou (also called Cuckoo, As Qui Court or Hère) is an historical French card game that uses a pack of 32 or 52 cards and is played by five to twenty players. It is unusual for being played with only a single card in hand. As a shedding game, there is only one winner who may claim the stakes, if there are any. History The earliest reference to the game dates to 1490 France where it was known by the name of Mécontent ("Malcontent") and was played with a standard 52-card deck. The first rules appear under the name Hère in 1690Furetière (1690). and as Coucou in 1721. The name As Qui Court appears in the mid-19th century, but the name Coucou ("cuckoo") persisted and the game is still played in France today under that name. The game migrated to England by 1881 as Ranter-Go-Round, but is now also known as Cuckoo. Cards The game uses a regular 52-card pack, or a smaller 32-card deck (with 2s through 6s absent) if fewer than seven are playing. Suits are not relevant; only the c ...

Dedicated Deck Card Game
A dedicated deck card game is one played with a deck specific to that game, rather than a pack of standard playing cards. Educational packs of cards were being printed by the late eighteenth century, initially designed merely to inform, but later becoming playable games. Modern card games are often sold with non-standard distributions of suits and ranks. Unranked cards By the late eighteenth century, educational packs of cards were being printed without suits or ranks, such as ''The Elements of Astronomy and Geography Explained'', published by John Wallis in 1795. These served as teaching aids rather than being playable games. Charles Hodges' 1828 game ''Astrophilogeon'' was a deck of 60 cards showing 30 constellations and 30 terrestrial maps, with which players could play a game attempting to obtain corresponding pairs. An early 20th century dedicated deck card game was '' Touring'', published in 1906, and inspiring '' Mille Bornes'' in 1954. Modern dedicated deck card games ...

Miaow
A meow or miaow is a cat vocalization. ''Meows'' may have diverse tones and are sometimes chattered, murmured or whispered. Adult cats rarely meow to each other, so an adult cat meowing to human beings is probably a post-domestication extension of meowing by kittens: a call for attention. The meow can be assertive, plaintive, friendly, bold, welcoming, attention-soliciting, demanding, or complaining. It can even be silent, where the cat opens its mouth but does not vocalize. Just as humans may verbalize exhaustively when they are happy, so can cats. According to ''The Purrington Post'', a chatty cat is likely happy too. A mew is a high-pitched meow often produced by kittens. It is apparently used to solicit attention from the kitten's mother, and adult cats may use it as well. The mew is similar to what is described in Brown et al. 1978 as an isolation call. By around three to four weeks of age kittens do not mew when at least one littermate is present, and at four to fiv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sailing
Sailing employs the wind—acting on sails, wingsails or kites—to propel a craft on the surface of the ''water'' (sailing ship, sailboat, raft, windsurfer, or kitesurfer), on ''ice'' (iceboat) or on ''land'' (land yacht) over a chosen course, which is often part of a larger plan of navigation. From prehistory until the second half of the 19th century, sailing craft were the primary means of maritime trade and transportation; exploration across the seas and oceans was reliant on sail for anything other than the shortest distances. Naval power in this period used sail to varying degrees depending on the current technology, culminating in the gun-armed sailing warships of the Age of Sail. Sail was slowly replaced by steam as the method of propulsion for ships over the latter part of the 19th century – seeing a gradual improvement in the technology of steam through a number of stepwise developments. Steam allowed scheduled services that ran at higher average speeds than sai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
