Welcome, Stevie.
yes, it's the right word. :o)

Hrqls: I have an opinion about that. I'm against changing the rules in every game, just because some players don't like it. The creator of the game, made the rules, some other guy create others, so what i propose is one of 2 choices. return to the original rules or create 2 alquerque game types (one with Alfonso rules and the other stays like it is now).
