Talis
[Featuring a deck of 70-78 cards, Talis occupies a place alongside chess and draughts as one of those games that carbuncular gentlemen play over warming mugs of ale at the back of taverns, or over vile flavourless biscuits in the dining room corner at every major familial celebration, including birthdays. It is a deck allowing the player access to games of vast strategic depth involving four suits and one trump suit called the Major Arcana. These games include whist, poker, elemental empires, old wizard, and let's-just- make-a-card-tower-I-can-hardly-see-I've-had-that-many-pints-lads.]
