a game at cards, which being cut into as many heaps as there are players, every man lays as much money on his own card as he pleases; and the dealer wins or looses as many as his card is superior or inferior to those of the other gamblers.

The best card is the ace of diamonds; the next to it, the ace of hearts; then the ace of clubs; and lastly, the ace of spades: And so of the rest of these suits in order, according to their degree.

The cheat lies in securing an ace, or any other sure winning card; which are somehow marked, that the sharper may know them.
