Okay, time to jump into the fray with this. After years of being not
quite happy with any of the extant reconstructions, I've tried my hand
at reconstructing Primero.
I've actually done it as two separate reconstructions, one based mainly
on Cardano, and one on a couple of brief English sources. I'm far from
totally sanguine about either, but I *think* they're closer to matching
the sources than the previous reconstructions I've seen. Neither has
been playtested yet, but I'm not seeing any terribly obvious bugs.
Anyway, folks should feel free to play around with them, and offer
commentary. They're at:

This also includes a one-page Word cheat sheet that covers both
variants.
