Just to correct Borges: Truco is played with a Spanish deck of cards (comes with 50 in the deck including 2 jokers) but with the 8s and 9s removed so that 10 is 8, 11 is 9 and 12 is 10. This makes the face cards match the italian deck (although the numbers are different).

Where are you "correcting" Borges on Truco? What mistake did you find in the interview?
