Trivia
📚 Yorick is an unseen character in William Shakespeares play Hamlet. He is the dead court jester whose skull is exhumed in Act 5 Scene 1 of the play. The sight of Yoricks skull evokes a reminiscence by Hamlet of the man who apparently played a role during Hamlets upbringing: Alas poor Yorick! I knew him Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest. This also seems to be the origin of the 23 discards levelling as in the same Act 5 Scene 1 of the play the following lines can be found: This skull has lain in the earth three-and-twenty years ... Sir this skull belonged to Yorick the king’s jester.[1]
📚 This joker is animated with Yorick hovering just above the gold card face.
📚 The other legendary Jokers are Canio Chicot Perkeo and Triboulet.
