Torneo di Buracco at Capretz
Il Circolo Burraco Comune di Barga have been moving around the city looking for a permanent place to play their cards - they have played down at the Barga Swimmming Pool during 2004 and outdoors in 2005
Recently they have been playing at the Hotel Villa Moorings which does look like it could become their permanent home but as work is still being done on the Hotel, this evening they were in Barga Vecchia.
42 players sat down at the green tables to play at Café Capretz.
Burraco, also sometimes spelt Buracco or Buraco, is a game for four players in fixed partnerships in which the aim is to lay down combinations: groups of cards of equal rank and sequences of cards in a suit, ace ranking high. There is a bonus for combinations of seven cards or more. Burraco is played with a double pack of 108 cards, incuding four jokers; the jokers and twos are wild.

- W. Shakespeare : Lear? Not at all! Those words are lifted from Macbeth's soliloquy:"....L ife's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
- Quentin Compson : Yes, Ma'am. It would be King Lear I believe, an allusion to the fool (and to Lear himself). But there is a more recent connection between Yokapatawpha and the Coldfields with a Biblical reference -- Absalom -- rather than the Shakespearean one to which you allude.
- poetry : Miss Coldfield, considered poetess laureate of Yoknapatawpha County, may simply be quoting Shakespeare, I do believe.

- Rosa Coldfield : ... it is a tale Told by and idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
- doggybag : Quentin - your constant focus on ideas over deeds makes you a highly unreliable commentator- quite often it is difficult to tell which of the actions you are suggesting are mere figments of your imagination and which you really do think should be acted upon.
- Quentin Compson : Hey, you two ought to get together sometime.
- Rosa Coldfield : Why of course : )
- Thomas Sutpen : Miss Rosa knows very well who will merely endure, and who will ultimately prevail
- Rosa Coldfield : It is not entirely clear, however, who has been sorest lately or with whom ; )
