Does anyone play Carrera's Chess please?

I like the idea of playing this game simply because it is so old.

I have seen the note in the older feedback which leads to mention of a 19th
Century translation of his book.  Does that book deal with ordinary chess
or with Carrera's Chess, or both, please?

Are there any documented games of Carrera's Chess please, in particular
from the 17th Century?
