The right pile of cards at the banker’s right hand is considered the banker’s side, and the left – the player’s side. If the lady fell to the right and ended up in the banker’s pile of cards, then the banker wins and takes the player’s money. If the queen falls to the left, then the player gets the win and the banker is already counting his loss to him. That’s all. See here for more information about this.
That evening, we continued to read the text of The Queen of Spades, “my grandmother came to Versailles to play the queen’s card game. Duke of Orleans metal; the grandmother slightly apologized for not bringing her debt, weaved a little story to justify herself and began to poke at him. She chose three cards, and put them one after another: Sonic won all three of them, and the grandmother won back completely.
Winning sonic means winning on the very first card that the banker puts to the left, on the player’s side. That is, at the prompting of Saint-Germain, the young countess beat the duke incredibly quickly all three times in a row. Luck is extraordinary. Pushkin constructs his story as the story of a lost game and strictly follows the card plot of the plot in America cardroom.
According to the symbolism of the cards, we have before us not just two portraits of the countess in her youth and her late husband, but also two trump cards. Before we are the king and the lady. The king, as it should be on old maps, is depicted in full face, and the lady in profile. And in front of us, on the one hand, a lady of hearts – a rose scarlet in her powdered blond hair, and on the other – a lady of spades.
After all, that beauty actually died, and in this bedroom, there was only her ominous shadow, an eighty-seven-year-old hag, and the place of a rose in the hair of a wig was taken by a spider, which the hero dreams of at night in America cardroom.
Cards have been very popular since the Middle Ages. They have successfully pushed dice, backgammon, and checkers. Some in terms of the complexity of tactics and strategies, as well as the possibilities of mathematical miscalculations, are compared or even surpassed by chess. Let us, dear reader, plunge into the simple world of a worthy representative of the entertainment industry in this article. So, card “Fool”.
There are only four main options for this entertainment – “Fool”, translation, throw-in, Japanese and, of course, simple. The last two have simple rules and are less popular today. In Japanese, for example, the difference is that spades only beat with spades. The trump card is always a tambourine. And the queen of spades can beat any card of her suit.
Everything is very simple here. The surrender is the same, the general meaning is the same in the American cardroom. The only difference is that it is not necessary to beat the card with which you resembled. You can simply move it further clockwise to the participant, placing it next to it at its dignity. This continues until there is nothing to transfer to the next.
