Description

1778 New England WHIST Card Games Backgammon Reversis Trictrac Rev War Printing

A rare, late 18th-century almanac on the history, gameplay, and rules of various games including trictrac, backgammon, and reversis. These games, popular in the 1700s, have become less played over the last few centuries, however, they are still enjoyed in places around the world. This book deals with rules and strategy for card games such as reversis, but also for dice and chip games like backgammon, Boston, and Maryland.

The three works in this tome comes from the undated ‘Almanach des jeux’ – a late 18th-century tome which included many more games.
