- ... that the historical card game of Briscan has been described as a "Gothic extravaganza" of "almost hysterical excitement and complication", squeezing "a truly phenomenal range of scores and melds" from just a 32-card pack?

This Gothic extravaganza squeezed a truly phenomenal range of scores and melds from the deal of five each from the 32-card pack" - Parlett, David (1990). A History of Card Games, OUP, Oxford.

General eligibility:
- New enough:
- Long enough:
- Other problems:

Needs to complete QPQ. I'm also not sure a picture truly adds to the DYK, though if one is needed on the day it goes out, the one this article has is not a bad choice. -- NoCOBOL 14:49, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
