Jeu Aluette 90s - - Uvula game - the "Cow Game"

1 Unit left in stock.

There is a special card game in Vendée(France), which is often played in certain localities such as Bouin (several competitions are organized by different associations throughout the year). This picturesque game is called aluette game (or uvula game), but among us we often call it “The Cow”.

The Aluette, also called the "Cow Game", is a card game by tricks, played by four people (two against two) with forty-eight cards with Spanish signs (copas - cups, espadas - swords, bastos - sticks, oros - golds). It is played with codified signs, which allow teammates to communicate information to each other on their cards during the game.

​Aluette, the traditional Vendée card game:
48 cards in a cardboard case.
4 Instruction pages in French as pictured(last 2).
Condition is LIKE NEW.

This game is not easy to find anymore.

The uninitiated will have great difficulty understanding this game, if, in addition, they do not know the local patois of maraîchin. Because that’s how all four express themselves!

A game of facial expressions.

The game, which is said to have been imported by Spanish sailors in the 14th or 15th century, consists of 48 cards. Exit the heart, diamonds, spades and clubs, make way for the penny, staff, sword and cup, with cards with the Spanish signs of Monsieur, Madame, One-Eyed, Cow, Grand-Neuf, Petit-Neuf. Each of these cards corresponds to a facial expression: Monsieur is rolling your eyes to the sky, Cow is pouting.
