Carte Osteologiche

Osteology is the part of anatomy that deals with bones and the skeleton. This pack acts like an introductory handbook to the subject. Indeed, the extensive booklet explains (in Italian) every single bone, skull and skeleton represented in the pack.

The four suits are skull skeletons, axial skeletons, attachment belt skeletons, and appendicular skeletons. The only indices are on the court cards (K, Q, J); otherwise, one has to count the bones. The booklet also includes rules for a variant of the Italian game of scopa.
