Le TRUT is a deck of cards called «counter» of uncertain origins which would have been heard of for the first time in the XVIInd century, in the west of France. It would be a descendant of the game called Aluette. Nowadays, it is still practiced by some irreducible at Deux-Sèvres, Maine-et-Loire and Sarthe, as well as in some countries of Hispanic cultures. This game, however very dynamic, is slowly falling into oblivion because of the lack of practitioners. Through this personalized edition, Robin Red Games hopes to give it back its title of nobility and its popularity. The rules set out below are the ones most commonly practiced. However, the alternatives A la Gâtinaise are described in annexes.
