The ♦J and ♥J as top trumps in Bester Bube
- ... that Bester Bube is a card game characterised by the promotion of two Jacks to topmost position, a feature paralleled in Euchre and other historical games such as Reunion and Kontraspiel?
Source: "I conclude that Euchre derives from the Alsatian game of Jucker and that Jucker derives ultimately from Triomphe or French Ruff, probably via Bête. It is definitively characterised by the promotion of two Jacks to topmost position as Right and Left Bowers, a feature variously represented or paralleled in late 18th-early 19th century west German games such as Réunion, Bester Bube and Kontraspiel." at Euchre

size and age ok, written neutrally. free of copyvio. hook cited and faithful to source. hook ok. Lots of unreferenced lines (sorry, a rule of DYK). Even if all sourced to the one source (as I suspect they will be) there should be a citation in each para. Also, is there any more material on where and when it was played? Otherwise the substance of the article is pretty slim apart from rules (not a deal-breaker though) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:07, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Casliber: thanks. In terms of referencing, I'm guessing you're referring to the rules section. In fact, as stated in the opening paragraph, the rules are based on Alversleben and he is fully cited. This has been accepted practice in other DYK articles, but if you'd like me to repeat the reference after every paragraph, that's easily done. I've expanded the historical information on when and where the game was played. Bermicourt (talk) 21:23, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
@Casliber: All the issues have now been addressed unless you want me to copy the reference at the start of the rules section to every paragraph within it, which I can do, but it's not normal practice here.Bermicourt (talk) 20:28, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
