[IGNORANCE
MAKES

109.
Pope
Joan.
A
game
somewhat
similar
to
Matrimony.
It
is
played
by
any
number,
with
an
ordinary
pack
of
cards,
and
a
marking
or
pool
board,
to
be
had
of
most
fancy
stationers.
The
eight
of
diamonds
must
first
be
taken
from
the
pack.
After
settling
the
deal,
shuffling,
&c.,
the
dealer
dresses
the
board.
This
he
does
by
putting
the
counters
into
its
several
compartments--one
counter
or
other
stake
to
Ace,
one
each
to
King,
Queen,
Knave,
and
Game;
two
to
Matrimony,
two
to
Intrigue,
and
six
to
the
nine
of
diamonds,
styled
the
Pope.
This
dressing
is,
in
some
companies,
at
the
individual
expense
of
the
dealer,
though,
the
players
usually
contribute
two
stakes
each
towards
the
pool.
The
cards
are
then
dealt
round
equally
to
every
player,
one
turned
up
for
trump,
and
about
six
or
eight
left
in
the
stock
to
form
stops.
For
example,
if
the
ten
of
spades
be
turned
up,
the
nine
becomes
a
stop.
The
four
kings,
and
the
seven
of
diamonds,
are
always
fixed
stops,
and
the
dealer
is
the
only
person
permitted,
in
the
course
of
the
game,
to
refer
occasionally
to
the
stock
for
information
what
other
cards
are
stops
in
their
respective
deals.
