Jacquet and Trictrac

Thank you for your help with these articles which I have translated from French Wikipedia with the help of your excellent website Le Salon des Jeux. I have nominated them for WP:Did You Know entries on Wikipedia's main page. See Talk:Jacquet (game) and Talk:Trictrac.

Is it still possible to buy a Trictrac board today? Where could I get one? Jacquet and Backgammon boards do not have the trous or the pavillon. Bermicourt (talk) 16:34, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm the one to thank you for your interest in my "Académie des jeux oubliés" web site which is included now with my new "salondesjeux.fr" domain, in such a way that it will ensure better stability over time. I'll probably extend "Le Salon des jeux" to other topics but for the meantime I have to revise all the pages of "Académie des jeux oubliés"

The Trictrac board you can see on French Wikipedia is mine (I bought it from a friend). Before, I used a cheap Backgammon board to which I drilled the needed holes to play Trictrac. You can find Trictrac boards on Ebay, but more often Jacquet boards.

At first, I wrote about the Trictrac game on my web site (actually I didn't planned any extension to other games until, while searching for Trictrac ancient rules, I discovered the 18th century "Académie universelle des jeux" books). Then I called the web site after this title, adding "forgotten".

Later, I wrote the French Wikipedia's Trictrac article but in a different way.

Thank you again Ph.lalanne (talk) 16:22, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
