Ganjifa & As-Nas

ـ ( گنجیفه ) و ( آس‌ناس ) از کهن ترین بازی با کارت است که پژوهشگران را به این نتیجه رسانده که خواستگاه بازی با کارت آنهم (به شکل امروزی) ایران است ـ

.

Poker

بدون شک بازی پوکر امروزی برگرفته از بازی آس‌ناس است به طوریکه محققین آس‌ناس را پدر بازی پوکر میدانند

.

قدرت امتیازی کارت ها تداعی کننده همان اساس طبقاتی دوران پادشاهی کهن ایران است که برای این بازی تا به امروز مانده است و ترتیب آن از این قرار است

آس - پادشاه - ملکه (بی‌بی) - سرباز - ناس(مردم ، رعیت)

اگرچه در چین هم بازی با کارت بوده اما در کارت های آنها چهره و شخصیت موجود نبوده

.

در دوران کهن ایران ، جنس کارت ها و ارزش نقاشی های روی آن ، خرید این ادوات را برای عموم ناممکن میکرد به گونه ای که فقط میان بعضی ثروتمندان و بخصوص دربار پادشاهی این مدل بازی ، گاهن انجام میشد

.

بعدها به خاطر علاقه ی شاه عباس بزرگ ( پنجمین شاه صفوی ) به بازی گنجیفه و ساده تر شدن روند تولید کارتها ، این بازی رونق بهتری در ایران کسب کرد و از آن گمنامی میان عموم در ایران باستان در آمد

اما در دوران شاه عباس دوم ( هفتمین شاه صفوی ) این بازی را قمار تشخیص دادند و ممنوع اش کردند

.

سرنوشت این مدل از بازی در دوره های بعدی ایران با فراز و نشیب های فراوان روبرو شد ( یکی حرام و یکی حلال میکرد ) تا اینکه بالاخره برای مدت زمان زیادی در ایران منسوخ شد اما این بازی از ایران راه خود را اول در هند و بعد به سرتاسر دنیا باز کرد و بعد از سفری طولانی در زمان ، دوباره به ایران بازگشت البته با همان حلال و حرام های ملا ها اما اینبار با نام پوکر

یاد سفره واژه کمبوجیه ( نام پدر کوروش بزرگ ) افتادم که وقتی به ایران برگشت ، شده بود کامبیز 😂

نوشته زیر فقط ( گمانه زنی ) هست از اینجانب در مورد واژه آس که با در کنار هم قرار دادن این 5 بند میتوان تا حدود زیادی پاسخ برخی از سوال ها را در مورد این واژه یافت

آس - ace - as

1 ـ

در کارت های بازی آس‌ناس

با نگاه به نقاشی های کشیده شده روی کارت آس که هویت بشری ندارد و همگی دارند به نوعی مبارزگر یا مبارزه ای نمادین را به نمایش میگذارند ، بشود (واژه) آس را همان که در فرهنگ لغت معین چنین آمده ،

ـ [ دو سنگ گرد و مسطح بر هم نهاده که به وسیله آن غلات را آرد کنند. ] تعبیر کرد ـ

2 ـ

در بازی آس‌ناس ، آس ارزش بالاتری را نسبت به بقیه کارت ها دارد چراکه نشان دهنده ی آرمان و نماد آن کشور ( همان خالهای بازی ♠♣♥♦) و پادشاه و مردمش است که برایش (( مبارزه )) میکنند

ـ [تلاش دو سنگ روی هم برای محصول آرد] ـ

آرد آن محصول با ارزش اما خُرد

3 ـ

به آس‌ی که با ��ب کار میکند میگویم ( آسی‌آب > آسیاب )

و چون به اصطلاح از (( جنگ‌و نبرد )) این دو سنگ به روی هم محصولی بسیار خُرد نیز بدست میآید ، در ادبیات فارسی هم از آس به مفهوم خُرد نیز تعبیر میشود

.

چند مثال از هر دو کاربرد :

می و معشوق را بگزین به عالم

جز این دیگر همه رزق است و ریواس

چه خواهم برد از دنیا به آخر

دلی پر حسرت و یک جامه کرباس

رفیقا جام می بر یاد من خور

که زیر آسیای غم شدم آس

از : سنایی

کو کس که چو بوده گشت نابوده نشد

وز آسِ سپهر سرنگون سوده نشد

از : عطار

زمانه چو عاجز نوازی کند

به تند اژدها ، مور بازی کند

در این آسیا دانه بینی بسی

به نوبت در آس افکند هرکسی

از : نظامی گنجوی

‌4 ـ

Etymology :

The word "ace" comes from the Old French word as (from Latin 'as') meaning 'a unit', from the name of a small Roman coin.

ـ علم اشتقاق لغات : ـ

کلمه

(ace)

از کلمه فرانسوی قدیم

as ( as از لاتین )

به معنای (یک واحد) گرفته شده است

که از نام یک سکه کوچک رومی گرفته شده است

.

این سکه اصطلاح خرد ترین سکه ی رایج در روم بوده

5 ـ

معانی کم کاربرد واژه

ace

در انگلیسی که (ذره کوچک) یا (ذره) یا (نقطه) است

.

⭐

حال شاید خودتان بتوانید نتیجه بگیرید چرا اصلا واژه آس در بازی با کارت موجود است و چرا بعدها به مرور به آن یک یا تک هم میگویند که خردترین است ( در میان اعداد ) اما با این‌حال چرا ارزش بالاتری از شاه دارد

و چرا امروزه در زبان انگلیسی برخلاف ریشه اش که برگرفته از یک سکه ناچیز در روم بوده مفهوم ( خیلی عالی ) یا ( ممتاز ) را میرساند

ایران باستان ← روم باستان ← فرانسه قدیم ← انگلیسی

ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ

🧠

الان وقت این است که کمی باهم از فلسفه بازی پوکر یا همان آس‌ناس خودمان بگوییم

1 ـ

در بازی پوکر درست است که در خارج از بازی ، هر ورق یک ارزش ذاتی دارد ، اما در داخل بازی است که ارزش واقعی آنها نمایان و مشخص میشود ، چه بسا یک برگ دو کنار دو بهتر از آس در کنار شاه است

درست مثل زندگی

2 ـ

نباختن روحیه و قوای جسمی یک اصل حیاتی در این بازی میباشد آنکه دست خوب دارد همیشه برنده نیست و بلعکس

درست مثل زندگی

3 ـ

اینکه چه وقت از یک دست بازی خارج شویم خود تضمین کننده دوباره بازی کردن دست های بیشتر است آنها که خیلی زود یا خیلی دیر خارج میشوند این روند را کوتاه میکنند و افسوس بعد آن دیگر فایده ای ندارد

درست مثل زندگی

4 ـ

میتوان تا آخرین لحظه امیدوار بود که یک برگ شاخص دست بازنده ای را تبدیل به یک دست برنده کند و بلعکس

درست مثل زندگی

5 ـ

حسرت در این بازی زمانی شکل میگیرد که

شما با آخرین حریف روبرو میشوید و قبل از رو شدن دست ها ادامه نمیدهید و از آن دست بازی خارج میشوید

اینجاست که هرگز نخواهید دانست به موقعه خارج شدید یا بی موقعه

فکر کردن به راه نرفته حسرت آور است

درست مثل زندگی

6 ـ

دست تان نه بد است نه عالی

اما سرمایه زیادی را تا اینجا در وسط گذاشته اید که برایتان خارج شدن از آن دست بازی را سخت میکند

حریف هم آخرین شرط را بر کل سرمایه تان بسته است و منتظر جواب شماست

اگر ادامه دهید و بازنده شوید همه چیز تان را از دست میدهید

اما اگر ادامه دهید و برنده شوید همه چیز را بدست آورده اید

تصمیم هولناک ، رسیدن به چنین دوراهی‌ست

درست مثل زندگی

7 ـ

ـ برگرفته شده از فیلم : ـ

The Cincinnati Kid 1965

انجام یک حرکت اشتباه اما در یک زمان درست میتواند برایتان پیروزی به ارمغان آورد

و انجام یک حرکت درست اما در یک زمان اشتباه میتواند فاجعه بار باشد

درست مثل زندگی

8 ـ

شانس و مهارت هر دو موثرند در پیروزی نهایی ما ،

حتی آن هنگام که شانس مقدس برایتان ظهور کرده و به خیالتان مهارت دیگر حرفی برای گفتن ندارد ، این مهارت شما در کنترل بازیست که میتواند پیروزی دلچسب تر و پر بار تری را برایتان به ارمغال آورد

درست مثل زندگی

9 ـ

شانس و مهارت شما ، فقط یک طرف کفه ی ترازو ی برد و باخت در بازی پوکر است چراکه شانس و مهارت دیگران نیز در سرنوشت شما دخیل خواهد بود . پوکر یک بازی جمعی‌ست

درست مثل زندگی

10 ـ

بلوف ها مشروع ‌اند و تقلب ها نامشروع ، از اولی ارجمندی حاصل میشود و از دومی فرومایگی ، یکی هنر میخواهد و آن دیگری رذل‌ـی

درست مثل زندگی

11 ـ

میتوان از سرگرمی بودن بازی پوکر به عنوان وجه معنوی پوکر آگاه بود اما تا مادامی که مادیات وارد آن نشود شما نمیتوانید بگویید در یک بازی پوکر حضور داشتین

در بازی پوکر با هر دو ی اینها سروکار داریم

درست مثل زندگی

12 ـ

تعادل بین سرگرمی و مادیات است که بازی پوکر را لذت بخش و مفید میکند

درست مثل زندگی

13 ـ

روی هر میز با هرکسی که بازی میکنی ، حد تعیین کن ، وگرنه اونا که چَب‌شون پُر هست ، چَپه‌ات میکنن

درست مثل زندگی

14 ـ

پوکر ، بازی شیر یا خط نیست که یک سرش برد و سر دیگرش باخت باشد ، در پوکر طیفی از دست های مساوی هم وجود دارد (خالها♠♣♥♦هم ارزش‌اند)

درست مثل زندگی

15 ـ

( یک معنا از چند معنای این انیمیشن )

گاهی باخت نتیجه اشتباه نیست بلکه برآیند بلوف ورق هاست ، وبلعکس

درست مثل زندگی

16 ـ

دو آس در یک پاراگراف :

اینکه در بازی پوکر راز زنده ماندن در این است که چه چیز را دور بیاندازیم و چه چیز را نگه داریم فقط معطوف به برگ های یک دست بازی نمیشود بلکه برای برد ها و باخت هایمان نیز صدق میکند که باید بدانیم از آنها نیز چه چیزی را نگه داریم �� چه چیزی را دور بیاندازیم برای بازی های بعدی

درست مثل زندگی

یک تعبیر دوپهلو و البته زیرکانه از شاعر در این شعر توجه من را به خودش جلب کرد و آن زمانی هست که میگوید:

[ و بهترین چیزی که میتوانی به آن امیدوار باشی این است که در خواب بمیری ]

وقتی در سطرهای بالاتر شعر ، صحبت از راز زنده ماندن ( بُردن و نباختن ) میکند

این را در کنار این باور بگذارید که

عموم مردم چنین باور دارند که اگر کسی در خواب بمیرد ، درد جان دادن که موجب ترس از مردن میشود را متوجه نمیشود گویی مرگ رخ نداده بلکه انتقال یک خواب به خوابی ابدی‌ست آنهم به آرامی

اینستکه هر آنچه که ناخوشایند است اگر در خواب رخ دهد و ما از خواب بودن آن آگاه شویم از بار ناخوشایند آن چنان کاسته میشود که انگار رخ نداده

پس اگر مرگ اجتناب ناپذیر است بهتر است در خواب باشد تا متوجه آن نشویم

حال با توجه به این موضوعات

قمارباز ( مردن در خواب ) را بهترین چیز برای امید بستن به آن پیشنهاد میدهد البته با همان تعبیر دو پهلو در هر دو بازی ، یکی پوکر و دیگری زندگی

کنایه ای عامیانه از به وقوع نپیوستن چیزی وقتی میگویم : خوابش را ببینی که چنین شود

البته جدا از این شعر که چیز ناخوشایندی را حواله به خواب میدهد

گاه چنان بعضی خوشی ها قحط میشود که خواب دیدنش غنیمت میشود

Chris De Burgh : Spanish Train

ایده ای با محوریت پوکر آنهم در قطاری که مرموزانه در حال حرکت است ( استعاره ای از جریان زندگی ) تا آنجا که من میدانم اولین بار توسط (کریس دی برگ) در آهنگی به نام قطار اسپانیایی که در تاریخ نوامبر 1975 منتشر شد ، قبل از این ترانه آمده بود

جناب شلیتز به گفته خودش شعر قمار باز را در اوت 1976 زمانی که 23 سال داشت و چندی از مرگ پدرش نمیگذشت نوشت که البته دو سال هم طول میکشد تا در آلبوم موفق راجرز برای عموم منتشر شود

ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ

چرا قمارباز نصیحتش میکرد وقتی پشت میزبازی نشسته پولش را شمارش نکنه ؟

تعبیری از سخن فوتبالی ها که میگویند : تا داور سوت پایان را نزده گل ها را شمارش نکن

اینو بذار در کنار اینکه

کاسب ها هم میگن تا چک نقد نشده عدد روش پول نشده

خلاصه آنکه پول روی میز پوکر یه وعده‌ست ، بازی که تموم شد معلوم میشه چقدرش مُحَقق شده ، بنابراین هی با شمارش اون خودت را خوشحال و ناراحت نکن اینجوری فقط حواس و روان ت را از تنظیم خارج میکنی

پس آنچه در جریان بازی روی میز هست در اصل مال تو نیست ( تا مادامی که بازی ادامه داره ) که بخوای روش حساب باز کنی ، کل بازی ( معملات ) که تموم شد ، وقت هست که بفهمی چی به دست آوردی و چی از دست دادی

درست مثل زندگی

Ganjifa, a Persian card game that has been popular in the Indian subcontinent since the sixteenth century, is notable for its hand-painted playing cards. The name Ganjifa likely derives from the Persian word ganj, meaning treasure or money. The game has several variations across West, Central and South Asia.

The oldest surviving reference to Ganjifa in India was made in the early fifteenth century by the historian Ibn Taghribirdi, who wrote that a Mamluk sultan gambled with kanjifa (a medieval Arabic name for Ganjifa) as a young man.

[darker-than-darkstorm]

Against The Dark Yogi (by Tab Creations) uses a standard 54-deck of cards including Jokers instead of dice. In addition to using the values on the cards, the suits each corresponded two of the eight stats (one mental, one physical), and if the stat matched the suit, you draw again. If the second card's suit also matched the stat, then you add the two cards together; if the second one didn't match, you took the higher valued card. An optional rule has the suit also affecting the damage of attacks.

(Alternate rules for mughal ganjifa cards — which have eight suits and no jokers — are also explained. The Campaign Options book has options for using dice, but it's more complicated than just "roll a d10" due to simulating the various suit-based options and trying to approximate the same probability spread, to the extent that you really might as well use the cards if you have some)

I'm not sure how the other Saga Machine games work, I haven't read any of them other than AtDY (and the character I created for that game went unused since the game master dropped out before we started).

Edit: Grabbed the Quickstart documents for a few other Saga Machine games (Shadows over Sol, Dime Adventures, and Age of Ambition) to see the basics, and they also use cards in much the same way AtDY does.

Ultimately an RPG that uses playing cards as a randomizer but doesn't actually utilize the cards for. You know. The things that cards can do. Is just using them as a fancy, weirdly shaped die.

A few things that cards can do that dice can't:

You know that dice superstition that people have about how if they roll enough low numbers they're bound to get a high one? That sort of actually works with cards provided cards aren't immediately returned to the deck and the deck reshuffled. Because there's a limited number of each "roll," good or bad.

You can hold them in your hand. It's basically like pre-rolling a bunch of numbers and then getting to spend those numbers as they become relevant. Maybe you only get to draw more cards by playing all your cards, meaning that if you don't conserve your good cards your character's luck is eventually bound to run out.

You can make poker hands with them. Added to the previous point, maybe you will be forced to play a worse hand and have your character flub a non-critical roll because you're hoping for that better hand that'll turn the tide.

There's suits as an added bit of information that can be utilized for some mechanics. Maybe matching suit with an action type results in an extra benefit?

All things Mysore

Mysore (now officially: Mysuru) finds a mention on every page of the history of India. It’s located in the southern state of Karnataka. It is called as The Heritage City, the City of Palaces, the Cultural capital of Karnataka or even the sandalwood city of India. Mysore’s past is so profound; it actually defines its present. One cannot just casually talk about the history because the referencing overlaps ONE ERA TO ANOTHER. Inexhaustible material is available to understand the essence of Mysore city.

The Mysore pak, Mysore masala dosa and many more things with the word Mysore as a mnemonic should remind us non- Mysoreans of the royal connection that we are dealing with. These south Indian delicacies found their way out of their hometown due to the efforts of chain hotel owners who introduced them in their menu and then right into the heart of every other state. The Mysore silk production flourished during the reign of Tipu Sultan and it has come a long way since then. In fact, Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation has received the GI certificate for Mysore silk. Only sarees woven in Karnataka will be Mysore Silk sarees, thus patenting it. GI tag has also been received for Mysore Paintings, Mysore beetel leaf, Mysore Sandalwood oil, Mysore Sandal soap, Mysore Agarbatti , Mysore Mallige,Mysore Rosewood Inlays and Ganjifa cards.

Mysore is the seat of Maharajas, having been ruled by the Wadiyar(Wodeyar) dynasty since 1399. It is believed that a curse was cast on the Wodeyar family by Alamelamma  – the widow of King Tirumalaraja ”May Talakad turn into (a barren expanse of) sand, may Malangi turn into a whirlpool, may the Rajas of Mysore not have children (for all time to come)” The Wodeyars never had a natural legal heir. It emerged that no natural heir to the throne born to a king (adopted or otherwise) could beget children, whereas one who became king by virtue of adoption or other indirect inheritance was blessed with a legal heir. That brings us to the 27th and current custodian of the royal house of mysore – Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wodeyar. Yaduveer was 22 years old, when he was adopted by Pramoda Devi Wadiyar, following the death of her husband Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar.

The tales of the royal family are plenty. A visit to Mysore palace is a must for every Indian. The pride felt when standing in front of the Palace validates the pages of history and makes you a part of it.

I have travelled the Ooty- Bangalore – Mysore- Coorg circuit with my family. Yes, I know, but I still cannot bring myself to call Coorg as Madikeri. Our stay in Mysore city was a very memorable one. The Mysore palace was the highlight of the trip. The palace is managed by the Government of Karnataka. The Royal Family currently resides here in a part of it. The entire palace is not open to tourists. One can visit the Museum that is within the Palace. The encapsulating Light and sound show towards the evening (except Sunday) portrays the history and tradition of the Wodeyars in a visual manner. There are in all 7 palaces in Mysore. The main being the Ambavilas palace or the Mysore Palace. This was day 1 @Mysore and we unwound at our hotel after our visit to Mysore Palace. We had just landed here from Bangalore in the morning and we needed to start early the next day.

Our itinerary read Chamundeshwari Temple. It is at a distance of 10 kms from Mysuru. Chamundi or Durga is the slayer of demon. Goddess Chamundeshwari is the deity of the royal kings of Mysore from time immemorable. The temple is located atop the Chamundi hills. The view of Mysore city from here is breathtaking. The temple architecture is a sight to behold. Usually, Friday is the most visited day to take the blessings of the deity. One can wait in the queue for the darshan or there is a paid darshan too. We took the paid one as the queue would run into an hour and we, as tourists, were eager to move on to the next highlight of our star city. 

After taking the blessing of the powerful Goddess, we left for Chamarajendran zoo also called as Mysuru zoo. It is spread over several acres of land. It’s very well maintained with all kinds of animals – hyenas, leopards, black bucks, magpies, several kinds of parrots. Basically, many species of birds, monkeys, wild animals and all species of deer. It has excellent litter control methods which are taken care of at the very entrance of zoo. The entry fees are quite reasonable too. The zoo is highly maintained. The zoo management is also in process of building a huge library/database area. There is also a small/ immaterial canteen. There are cream stalls located at several corners to help you take a break. Minimum 3 hours are required to cover the entire zoo. Rest depends on your ability to move up faster. I loved every bit of this zoo which was at par with international zoo standards. 

For the lunch breaks, we loved eating at a small joint run by the Mylari family. Its location is in a small lane, but the food is 5 star quality. The food business is probably passed over from generations to generations. This is quite inevitable in the taste of the dosas they serve. The lip smacking, finger licking dosas last on your taste buds long after you have eaten it. We MYLARIED every day we were at Mysore.

Last on the itinerary was the Brindavan Gardens. It is built on several acres of land.  And has a unique blend of many types of flower plants, ferns, shrubs and show plants…It’s a huge garden interspersed with different types of fountains. People of all age groups visit here and enjoy a beautiful evening with their loved ones. As we sat on the grass in the garden, we felt happy breathing the Mysore air without a hair of worry. At 7 pm, tourists eagerly await the dancing fountain show. To reach this part of Brindavan gardens, one can either walk up the huge stretch or take a ferry at Rs. 50 per person. We walked it up to see the show but took the ferry while returning.

We ended our Mysore trip with this, though there is much more which needs a tourist’s attention. We would be heading towards Coorg. Another super exciting journey…
