This site is strictly an artist operational fan publication, no copyright infringement intended Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting.

As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name. Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can. As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all. We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out.

Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis. Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.

Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent aka mobile store front and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period? A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history at least from the fall of Rome to the mid's to properly answer.

Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log!

Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1, years!! The dealer goes around to each player, starting with eldest and ending with himself, and asks whether they want to "stick" or "have it".

If the player wishes to stick, the dealer goes to the next; if they will have it, they get another card. They may continue to get more cards until they decide to stick, or they go over 31, in which case they are out.

Note that Willughby explicitly states that these cards are dealt from the bottom of the deck. Pip cards are worth their number of points; coat cards are worth ten. Neither Willughby nor Cotton states the value of the Ace; based on the statement about pip cards, I take the Ace to be worth 1.

There is no reason to believe that the Ace is switchable between 1 and 11 as in modern Blackjack. If all players have gone out that is, gone over 31 before the dealer gets to himself, he immediately wins. First player to reach exactly 31 wins immediately. Willughby says that hitting 31 exactly is worth a double stake, but it is not clear whether this is the usual case or what he believes should happen.

I agree that it should happen, so I tentatively recommend it. If no one reaches 31 exactly, and more than one player is left at the end, the player closest to 31 wins the pot. A single stake from each other player. Neither Willughby nor Cotton addresses ties; since Cotton says that ties go to the elder in Bone-Ace below , I would recommend that here. This game is a slightly later variation of One-and-Thirty see other side. You may draw your own judgement about whether is early enough to be considered "period".
