Brus (card game)

(

)

The top trumps in Brus

... that in the Danish card game of Brus (top trumps pictured) if you lead a Seven, your risk its capture by the Beggar King?
"The Sevens were worthless unless led, but could then be beaten only by a Seven in a higher suit, or by the King of Clubs, called Stodderkongen (Danish for "the beggar king") which beat all Sevens but has no other value." in "Voormsi: A Greenlandic Descendant of Karnöffel" by Anthony Smith in The Playing-Card with which is incorporated Playing-Card World; Journal of the International Playing-Card Society, Vol. 26, By Beal, ed. George, July/August 1997 - May/June 1998, 266 pages, pp. 45-51. Published by The International Playing-Card Society, ISSN 0305-2133
- Comment by nom: An alternative image could be that of the Beggar King himself as per the article.

5x expanded by Bermicourt (talk). Self-nominated at 18:15, 26 April 2020 (UTC).

Five times expanded, well referenced, neutrally written, and Earwig finds nothing at all. Offline source for hook accepted per WP:AGF. Hook is interesting, image is in public domain. QPQ awaited. Moonraker (talk) 10:50, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

QPQ done. Bermicourt (talk) 16:44, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
