 There are two types of game in grand trictrac: the ordinary game and the scored game.
 In both, the main laws and rules are the same; but the goal, scoring, and payments differ.
 
 ## ARTICLE I: THE ORDINARY GAME
 
-It is played between two players; the goal is to be the first to score 12 holes (*trous*). One hole equals 12 points.
+It is played between two players; the goal is to be the first to score 12 holes (_trous_). One hole equals 12 points.
 
 ## ARTICLE II: THE SCORED GAME
 
-It can be played by 2, 3, or 4 players in teams or in *chouette* format. The goal is to win as many tokens as possible by playing an agreed number of rounds (*marqués*). A round always pits two players against each other. With three or four players, participants rotate at each round in a defined order.

 ## ARTICLE III: EQUIPMENT
 
-The game is played on a board called a *trictrac*, composed of two tables: the small jan table and the big jan table. The first table contains each player's small jan and the second contains each player's big jan. One player's small jan is also the other player's return jan. Each jan consists of 6 alternately coloured fields (*flèches*).

Each jan consists of 6 alternately coloured fields (_flèches_).
 
 The board has 24 triangular fields in total and 30 holes drilled into its rails and bands.
 
-A hole is drilled at the base of each field. These holes hold each player's peg (*fichet*) to record the holes (games) won. The three holes on each side rail serve to place pegs at the start of the game, along with the flag (*pavillon*).

 The scored game is also played with tokens used for payments, or with paper and pencil to keep a token account.
 
 ## ARTICLE IV: STARTING POSITION
 
-At the start of the game, all checkers are stacked into two separate stacks (*talons*): one of white checkers, one of black. Each stack is placed facing the other on a corner field adjacent to one of the two outer side rails, called the starting rail. This rail may later become the exit rail.

-Each player uses the checkers from the stack closest to them. The corner fields against the other outer side rail are the rest corners. The twelfth field of each player — counting the stack as the first — is therefore that player's rest corner, or simply: *corner*.

 In both cases, if the dice show the same value, they must be re-rolled. A game may therefore not begin with a double.
