is usually played by two persons; not unfrequently by four. Its name
is derived from the four chances, called _high, low, Jack, game_, each
making a point. It is played with a complete pack of cards, six of
which are to be dealt to each player, three at a time; and the next
card, the thirteenth, is turned up for the trump by the dealer, who,
if it prove a knave, scores one point. The highest card cut deals
first. The cards rank the same as at whist--the first to score ten
points, wins.
