This
game,
which
has
lately
revived
in
popularity,
is
played
by
two
persons
with
a
pack
of
cards
from
which
the
twos,
threes,
fours,
fives,
and
sixes
have
been
discarded.
In
the
clubs
it
is
usual
to
play
with
two
packs,
used
alternately.
The
players
cut
for
deal,
the
highest
card
deals.
The
pack
is
shuffled
and
the
non-dealer
cuts.
The
dealer
then
from
the
united
pack
gives
five
cards
to
each,
beginning
with
his
adversary,
by
twos
and
threes,
or
threes
and
twos;
and
always
dealing
in
the
same
way
throughout
the
game.
The
eleventh
card
is
turned
up
for
trump.
If
the
turn-up
be
a
king,
the
dealer
marks
one
point;
five
points
being
game.
The
non-dealer
looks
at
his
cards,
and
if
he
be
dissatisfied
with
them,
he
may
propose--that
is,
change
any
or
all
of
them
for
others
from
the
stock,
or
remainder
of
the
pack
on
the
table.
Should
he
propose,
he
says,
"I
propose,"
or
"cards,"
and
it
is
in
the
option
of
the
dealer
to
give
or
refuse
cards.
When
he
decides
to
give,
he
says,
"I
accept,"
or
"How
many?"
Should
he
refuse
to
change
he
says,
"I
decline,"
or
"Play."
The
dealer
may,
if
he
accept
the
proposal,
change
any
or
all
the
cards
in
his
own
hand.
Sometimes
a
second
discard
is
allowed,
but
that
must
be
by
previous
agreement.
