The Tórculo cheat sheet

One page to write .mesa pliegos without opening the specification. The law: the pliego says human counts and manners; the engine sets the numbers. Every keyword comes from a closed list; accents in keywords are optional. Text that goes on screen is between «», the separator is ·, and every pliego carries its soundtrack. Keywords are Spanish.
