  • American Skat : Or, the Game of Skat Defined : a Descriptive and Comprehensive Guide on the Rules and Plays of This Interesting
    'JTV American Skat, OR, THE GAME OF SKAT DEFINED. BY J. CHARLES EICHHORN A descriptive and comprehensive Guide on the Rules and Plays of if. is interesting game, including table, definition of phrases, finesses, and a full treatise on Skat as played to-day. CHICAGO BREWER. BARSE & CO. Copyrighted, January 21, 1898 EICHHORN By J. CHARLES SKAT, with its many interesting features and plays, has now gained such a firm foothold in America, that my present edition in the English language on this great game of cards, will not alone serve as a guide for beginners, but will be a complete compendium on this absorbing game. It is just a decade since my first book was pub- lished. During the past 10 years, the writer has visited, and been in personal touch with almost all the leading authorities on the game of Skat in Amer- ica as well as in Europe, besides having been contin- uously a director of the National Skat League, as well as a committeeman on rules. In pointing out the features of the game, in giving the rules, defining the plays, tables etc., I shall be as concise as possible, using no complicated or lengthy remarks, but in short and comprehensive manner, give all the points and information required. The game of Skat as played today according to the National Skat League values and rulings, with the addition of Grand Guckser and Passt Nicht as variations, is as well balanced a game, as the leading authorities who have given the same both thorough study and consideration, can make.

  • The Game of Whist
    THE GAME OF WHIST “WHIST” comes from an English word meaning silent and attentive. Whist is a trick-based card game similar to Euchre and Hearts. Originally developed in eighteenth-century English social circles, it quickly became one of the most popular games in the American colonies and early United States. LAWS OF THE GAME Whist is played with 4 people in pairs of 2. Cut the deck: the player who draws a high card is the dealer! The dealer deals each player 13 cards. The last card (to the dealer) is dealt face up, indicating the trump suit. The player to the dealer’s left leads the first “trick” with any card they choose. “A Pig in a Poke, Whist, Whist” Hand-coloured etching Aces are high. Twos are low. by James Gillray, 1788. National Portrait Gallery, London Moving clockwise, each player plays a card on that trick. If they can, players must follow the suit of the card led or they may play a trump card. Players with no card of that suit can play any card, including a trump card. The player with the highest card of the led suit or the highest trump card wins the trick and places the 4 cards to their side. TRICKS The winning player leads the next trick. When all of the cards have been played, for total of 12 tricks, each pair earns 1 point for every trick they won in excess of 6. For example, a player who wins 8 tricks would earn 2 points. A trick penalty is given to anyone who fails to follow suit when they have that suit in hand.

  • BLACKJACK It’S Easy to Ace the Game of Blackjack, One of the Most Popular Table Games at Hollywood Casino and Around the World
    BLACKJACK It’s easy to ace the game of Blackjack, one of the most popular table games at Hollywood Casino and around the world. Object of the Game Your goal is to draw cards that total 21, or come closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. How To Play • The dealer and each player start with two cards. The dealer’s first card faces up, the second faces down. Face cards each count as 10, Aces count as 1 or 11, all others count at face value. An Ace with any 10, Jack, Queen, or King is a “Blackjack.” • If you have a Blackjack, the dealer pays you one-and-a-half times your bet — unless the dealer also has a Blackjack, in which case it’s a “push” and neither wins. • If you don’t have Blackjack, you can ask the dealer to “hit” you by using a scratching motion with your fingers on the table. • You may draw as many cards as you like (one at a time), but if you go over 21, you “bust” and lose. If you do not want to “hit,” you may “stand” by making a side-to-side waving motion with you hand. • After all players are satisfied with their hands the dealer will turn his or her down card face up and stand or draw as necessary. The dealer stands on 17 or higher. BLACKJACK Payoff Schedule All winning bets are paid even money (1 to 1), except for Blackjack, which pays you one-and-a-half times your bet or 3 to 2.

M. BRIGHT SYRACUSE, N. Y. 1895 WHIST POINTS And How to ^Make Them ^W0 GUL ^ COPYRIGHT, 1895 C. M. BRIGHT INTRODUCTORY. This little book presupposes some knowledge of "whist on the part of the reader, and is intended to contain suggestions rather than fiats. There is nothing new in it. The compiler has simply placed before the reader as concisely as possible some of the points of whist which he thinks are of the most importance in the development of a good game. He hopes it may be of assistance to the learner in- stead of befogging him, as a more pretentious effort might do. There is a reason for every good play in whist. If the manner of making the play is given, the reason for it will occur to every one who can ever hope to become a whist player. WHIST POINTS. REGULAR LEADS. Until you have mastered all the salient points of the game, and are blessed with a partner possessing equal intelligence and information, you will do well to follow the general rule:—Open your hand by leading your longest suit. There are certain well established leads from combinations of high cards, which it would be well for every student of the game to learn. They are easy to remember, and are of great value in giving^ information regarding numerical and trick taking strength simultaneously, ACE.

TOBIN I A Digest of The One-Over-One Approach-Forcing (“Plastic Valuation”) Official and Variations INCLUDING Changes in Laws—New Scoring Rules—Play of the Cards AND A Recommended Common Sense Method “Sound Principles of Contract Bridge” Approved by the Western Bridge Association albert?whitman £7-' CO. CHICAGO 1933 &VlZ%z Copyright, 1933 by Albert Whitman & Co. Printed in U. S. A. ©CIA 67155 NOV 15 1933 PREFACE THE authors of this digest of the generally accepted methods of Contract Bridge have made an exhaustive study of the Approach- Forcing, the Official, and the One-Over-One Systems, and recog¬ nize many of the sound principles advanced by their proponents. While the Approach-Forcing contains some of the principles of the One-Over-One, it differs in many ways with the method known strictly as the One-Over-One, as advanced by Messrs. Sims, Reith or Mrs, Kerwin. We feel that many of the millions of players who have adopted the Approach-Forcing method as advanced by Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson may be prone to change their bidding methods and strategy to conform with the new One-Over-One idea which is being fused with that system, as they will find that, by the proper application of the original Approach- Forcing System, that method of Contract will be entirely satisfactory. We believe that the One-Over-One, by Mr. Sims and adopted by Mrs.

  • US Military Used the Ace of Spades to Scare the Viet Cong
    US Military Used The Ace Of Spades To Scare The Viet Cong National Card Playing Day is observed annually across the United States on December 28. In the 9th century, the Chinese began developing games using money and other paper objects. These early playing cards bear no resemblance to the sturdier European playing cards that developed a few centuries later. Card games spread around the world in a variety of shapes and styles. From the elaborate Mamluk designs of Egypt to the appearance of the first playing cards during the Early Renaissance in Europe, the decks were divided into four suits of coins, cups, swords and sticks or batons. It is from these four suits that today’s modern decks of playing cards developed. Theories range how the suits converted to hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs. One theory suggests the suits represent the different classes of the era – clergy, aristocracy, military and peasantry. In India, the ten suited card game of Ganjifa became popular during the Moghul period. Traditionally, artists hand paint a stunning scene on each of the 120 cards in the deck. A standard pack of cards may be used for playing a variety of card games, with varying elements of skill and chance, some of which are played for money. Some of the top card games include Spades, Poker, Solitaire, Spite and Malice, Hearts, Spoons, Gin Rummy, Ridge, Black Jack and Texas Hold’em. Of course, there are thousands of card games, some of which are regional favorites. The French suit symbols we are most familiar with (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades) are a variation of the German suit symbols used in the late 1370s.

    Pinochle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pinochle (sometimes pinocle, or penuchle) is a trick-taking Pinochle game typically for two, three or four players and played with a 48 card deck. Derived from the card game bezique, players score points by trick-taking and also by forming combinations of cards into melds. It is thus considered part of a "trick-and- meld" category which also includes a cousin, belote. Each hand is played in three phases: bidding, melds, and tricks. In some areas of the United States, such as Oklahoma and Texas, thumb wrestling is often referred to as "pinochle". [citation needed] The two games, however, are not related. The jack of diamonds and the queen of spades are Contents the "pinochle" meld of pinochle. 1 History Type Trick-taking 2 The deck Players 4 in partnerships or 3 3 Dealing individually, variants exist for 2- 4 The auction 6 or 8 players 5 Passing cards 6 Melding Skills required Strategy 7 Playing tricks Social skills 8 Scoring tricks Teamwork 9 Game variations 9.1 Two-handed Pinochle Card counting 9.2 Three-handed Pinochle Cards 48 (double 24 card deck) or 80 9.3 Cutthroat Pinochle (quadruple 20 card deck) 9.4 Four-handed Pinochle 9.5 Five-handed and larger Pinochle Deck Anglo-American 9.6 Check Pinochle 9.7 Double-deck Pinochle Play Clockwise 9.8 Racehorse Pinochle Card rank A 10 K Q J 9 9.9 Double-deck Pinochle for eight players (highest to 10 See also lowest) 11 References 12 External links Playing time 1 to 5 hours Random chance Medium History Related games Pinochle derives from the game bezique.
