Robert Kemp Philp77The other cards do not count: thus it may happen that a deal may be played without having any to reckon for game. v. Begging is when the eldest hand, disliking his cards, uses his privilege, and says, "I beg;" in which case the dealer either suffers his adversary to score one point, saying, "Take one," or gives each player three cards more from the pack, and then turns up the next card, the seventh for trumps. If, however, the trump turned up to be of the same suit as the first, the dealer must go on, giving each three cards more, and turning up the seventh, until a change of suit for trumps shall take place. 94. Maxims for All-Fours. i. Make your knave as soon as you can. ii. Secure your tens by playing any small cards, by which you may throw the lead into you adversary's hand. iii. Win your adversary's best cards when you can, either by trumping or with superior cards. iv. If, being eldest hand, you hold either ace, king, or queen of trumps, without the knave or ten, play them immediately, as, by this means, you may chance to win the knave or ten. 95. Loo. This game is played both Limited and Unlimited Loo; it is played two ways, both with five and three cards. Several may play, but five or seven make the better game. 96. Three-Card Loo. i. This game is played by any number of persons, from three, but five or seven make the best game.
