rules of the game
[edit]Game rules (http://www.levalet.com/LIBRARY/TOCK.HTM) link from the external-links section differs much from those mentioned in the related section of the article.
Is not there any more-official version of tock rules out there? Twipley (talk) 00:08, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
Official rules
[edit]If what I have on hand are to be considered "official" rules, then the ones on this page are mostly correct. i.e., no jokers, nor heaven, etc.;
Written rules
[edit]I have written some rules based on some experience and on collected information. Those can be found in the external-links section ("modern tock rules").
Here are some mirrors, just in case: http://www.2shared.com/document/9q10RFs6/tocking.html http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/382374/tocking-pdf.html http://depositfiles.com/files/5eb3owola http://www.sendspace.com/file/e3pru8 http://www.speedyshare.com/dk4A9/tocking.pdf http://www.mediafire.com/?8474iiqu880ais1 http://www.scribd.com/doc/120057527/Tock-Rules
Board picture
[edit]The currently featured article board is a Super-Tock board, which includes the heaven hollow in the middle.
I have taken pictures of the board I am owning, which rules were about the same than the ones featured in the article.

Needs citations
[edit]This article is 90% rules, and links to a bunch of rules, but doesn't point the text on page to any particular source. Also, it makes claims about the origin and evolution of the game that seem fully unsupported by those sources. I'm not really a citation person so I did my best to flag that with inline "needs citation" for the historical claims and just a general "no footnotes" at top to address the various rules/variants.
While I was at it, I categorized it under "round games" and put all the various "variant" sections into a common "variants" heading. Might have thrown in a wikilink or two. Backlitt (talk) 21:01, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
