Original spelling and +punctuation has been preserved where possible.] + + + + +The Royal Game of the Ombre. + +Written At the Request of divers Honourable Persons. + +London + +Printed for Thomas Palmer, at the Crown in Westminster-Hall, 1665. + +The Royal Game of the Ombre. + +L'Ombre is a Spanish Game at Cards, as much as to say, The Man: so he who +undertakes to play the Game, sayes Jo so l'Ombre, or, I am the Man. And +'tis a common saying with the Spaniards, (alluding to the name) that the +Spanish l'Ombre as far surpasses the French le Beste, as a Man do's a +Beast, There are divers sorts of it, of which, this (which we shall only +treat of, and which chiefly is in vogue) is called the Renegado, for +reasons better supprest then known. + +_How many can play at it, and with what Cards they are to play._ + +There can only three play at it, and they are dealt nine Cards a piece: so +by discarding the Eights, Nines, and Tens out of the Pack, there remains +thirteen Cards in the Stock. + +_Of the Trump_ + +There is no turning up Trump, nor no Trump but what the Player pleases, +the first hand having alwayes the choice to play or pass, after him the +second, &c. + +_Of the Stakes_ + +For Stakes there are two sorts of Marks or Counters, the greater and the +less; for example if you value the great ones at 12. pence, the lesser may +be pence the piece (and so according as you please) of which great Marks +you stake each one one for the Game: and the lesser for passing, for the +hand, if you be eldest, and for taking in, giving for each Card you take +in, one Mark or Counter. + +_Of the names of the Cards, and order in ranking them_ + +_Of the Black Suits_ + +1. The Spadillio, or Ace of Spades. +2. The Mallilio, or black Deuces of either suit. +3. The Basto, or Ace of Clubs. +4. The King. +5. Queen. +6. Knave. +7. Seven. +8. Six. +9. Five. +10. Four. +11. And Three. + +_Of the Red Suits_ + +1. The Spadillio, or Ace of Spades. +2. The Mallilio, or Sevens of either Suit. +3. The Basto, or Ace of Clubs. +4. The Punto, or Ace of Hearts or Diamonds according as they are Trump. +5. The King. +6. The Queen. +7. The Knave. +8. The Deuce. +9. The Three. +10. The Four. +11. The Five. +12. The Six. + +_Observations._ + +By this you see first that the Spadillio, or Ace of Spades is always the +first Card, and alwayes Trump, be the Trump what suit soever; and the +Basto, or Ace of Clubs alwayes the third. Secondly, the of Black, there +are but eleven Trumps, and of Red twelve. Thirdly, that the Red Ace enters +into the fourth place when it is Trump, and then is called the Punto, +otherwise 'tis only rank'd after the Knave, and is only call'd the +Ace. Fourthly, that (excepting the Deuces of Black, and Sevens of Red, +which are call'd the Mallilio's, and are alwayes the second Cards when +they are Trumps) the least small Cards of the Red are alwayes best, and +the greatest of the Black. + +_Of the Matadors._ + +The Matadors or killing Cards, as the Spadillio, Mallilio, and Basto, are +the three chief Cards, and for these, when they are all in a hand (else +not) the others pay three of the greater Marks or Counters the piece; and +though there be no counting the Matadors without these three, yet these +three for foundation, you may count as many as you have Cards in an +interrupted series of Trumps; for all which the others are to pay you one +Mark or Counter, the piece, even to nine sometimes. + +_Of taking in, and the order and manner of it._ + +1. Who has the first Hand, has choice of playing the Game, of naming the +Trump, and of taking in as many of or as few Cards as he pleases, and +after him the second, &c. +2. Having once demanded whether any one will play _without taking in_, you +oblige your self to take in, though your Game be never so good: wherefore +you are well to consider it before. +3. If you name not the Trump before you look on the Cards which you have +taken in, any other may prevent you, and name what Trump they please. +4. If (as it often happens) you know not of two Suits which to name +Trump; e.g. with the two black Aces you have three Trumps of either +sorts: First, the Black Suit is to be preferr'd before the Red, because +there are fewer Trumps of it. Secondly, you are rather to choose that Suit +of which you have not the King, because besides your three Trumps, you +have a King, which is as good as a fourth. +5. When you have the choice of Going in three Matadors, or the two Black +Aces with three of four other Trumps, if the Stakes be great, you are to +chuse this last, (as most likely to win most Tricks) if it be but a simple +Stake, you are to chuse the first; because the six Counters you are to +receive for the Matadors, more then equavales the four or five, you lose +for the Game. + +_Observations._ + +1. He is to ask _if any will play without taking in._ (when they have the +choice of those who will not.) Secondly, he is never to take in, or play, +unless he have three sure Tricks in his hand at least: To understand +which the better we must know + +_The End of the Game_ + +The End of the Game is (as at Beast) to win most Tricks; whence he who can +win five tricks of the Nine, has a sure Games; or if he win Four, and can +so divide the Tricks, as one may win Two, the other Three: if not, 'tis +either Codillio or Repuesto, and the Player loses and makes good the +Stakes. + +_Of the Codillio._ + +The call it Codillio when the Player is beasted, and another wins more +Tricks then he; when this takes up the Stakes, and tother makes it good: +where note, that although the other two alwayes combine against the +Player to make him lose, yet they all do their best (for the common +good) to hinder any one from winning, onely striving to make it Repuesto. + +_Of the Repuesto._ + +They call it Repuesto when the Player wins no more Tricks then another: +for example, if he win but four, another four, and the third but one, or +each of them win three Tricks the piece; in which case the Player doubles +the Stake, without any ones winning it, and it remains so doubled for the +advantage of the next Player, &c. whence you may collect, that the Player +is as much concern'd in making Repuesto, in case of nesessity, as any of +the rest, by which means the Stakes oftentimes increasing to a +considerable summe, the Player is to be very wary what Games he playes. + +_What Games are to be played_ + +One is never to play unless he have three sure Tricks in his hand at +least, as we have said before; as the three Matadors, or six or seven good +Trumps without them; where note, the Kings of any Suit are alwayes +accounted as good as Trumps (since nothing but Trumps can win them) mean +while all other Cards but them and Trumps, are to be discarded. + +_Observations._ + +He who playes having taken in, the next is to consider the goodness of his +Game; and to take in more or less, according to his Game is probably like +to prove good or bad, alwayed considering, that 'tis as much his advantage +that the third have a good Game to make it Repuesto, as himself. Neither +is any one, for Covetousness of saving a Counter or two, to neglect, the +taking in, that the other may commodiously make up his Game with the Cards +which he leaves; and that no good Cards may lye dormant in the Stock, +except Player playe without taking in when they may refuse to take in, if +they imagine he has all the Game. + +_Of playing without taking in._ + +When one has a sure Game in his hand, he is to play without taking +in; when the others are to give him each of them one of the greater Marks +or Counters, as he is to give them, if he play without taking in, a Game +that is not sure, he'd(?) loses it. + +_Of the Voll._ + +If you win all the Tricks in your hand, or the Voll, they likewise are to +give you one Mark or Counter the piece; but then you are to declare before +the fifth Trick, that you intend to play for the Voll, that so they may +keep their best Cards, which else seeing you win five Tricks (or the +Game) they may carelesly cast away. + +_Of the Forfeitures_ + +If you Renounce, you are to double the Stake, this(?) also if you have +more or fewer Cards then Nine, (to avoid all wrangling or foul play) to +which end you are carefully to count your Cards both in dealing and taking +in, before you look on them; besides according to the Rigour of the Game, +if you speak any thing that may discover your Game, or anothers (excepting +onely Gagno as we shall declare afterwards) or play so, as wittingly to +hinder the making it Repueto or Codillio (and if ignorantly, you are not +fit to play.) + +_Of playing Trumps_ + +In playing Trump; you are to note, that if any playes an ordinary Trump, +and you have onely the three best Cards, or Matadors, singly or can +jointly in your hands, you may refuse to play them, without Renouncing, +because of the priviledge which those Cards have, that none but commanding +Cards can force them out of your hands; as for example, the Spadillio +forces the Mallilio, and the Mallilio the Basto; for all the rest you are +to follow Trump. + +_Of what you are to say_ + +You are to say nothing but onely, _I pass_, or _play_, or Gagno, that is, +'tis mine, simply, when you play your Card, to hinder the third from +taking it; or Gagno de l' Re when you play your Queen to hinder them from +taking it with the King, &c. but this you cannot say till it come unto +your turn. + +_General Rules_ + +'Tis impossible to provide against all accident in the Game, onely these +general Rules may be observ'd in playing: First, the chiefest Art +consisting in knowing the goodness of ones Gane, and how it may be +improved to the best, one is never to win more then one trick, if they +cannot win more then two because of the advantage they give the Player by +it in dividing the tricks. Secondly, you are alwayes to win the trick from +the Player if you can, unless you let it pass for more advantage, wherein +note the second is to let pass to the third; if he have the likelier Game +to beast the Player, or if he be likely to win it. + +_Of the Tenaces_ + +There may be divers advantages in refusing to take the Players trick, but +the cheifest is if you have Tenaces in your hands, that is, two Cards, +which if you have the leading, you are sure to lose one of them. If the +player lead to you, you are sure to win them both; for examples, if you +have Spadillio and Basto in your hand, & he have the Mallilio & another +Trump, if you lead you lose one of the; for either you lead your + +Spadillio, and he player his lesser Trump upon it and wins your Basto +the next trick with his Mallilio, and so the contrary; whereas if he +leads, he loses both; for if he lead his Mallilio, you take it with your +Spadillio, and with your Basto win the other Trump; or if he lead with +that, you take it with your Basto; and then your Spadillio wins his +Mallilio, and 'tis called Tenaces, because it so catches you betwixt +them, there is no avoiding it, &c. + +_Of the Players playing his game for his best advantage_ + +Of this (becuase every one playes according to his own fancy) I will only +say, that if you are not sure of winning five Tricks, but have only the +three Matadors, (as for example) and Kings be your Auxilary Cards, if you +have the leading you are to begin with a Matador or two before you play +your Kings, to fetch out those Trump perhaps which might have trumped +them; and if you have three Matadors with two other Trumps your best way +is first to play you Matadors, to see how the Trump lie, and if both +follow, you are sure that if three Trump be Red, there remains onely one +Trump in their hands; if Black, none at all; it importing so much that the +player counts the Trumps, as the miscounting only one, do's often lose the +Game. In fine, if they have but a weak Game, they are to intimate cunning +Beast Players, in dividing Tricks, and consult them in playing of their +Cards. And these few Instructions may suffice, leaving the rest to each +one's particular observation. + +Certain other more Questions there are; as whether any may look on the +Tricks to see what Cards are played beside the Ombre, or he who playes the +Game, which ordinarily is resolved on the affirmative; or when any Cards +are left in the Stock, whether any may look on them or no, which the Table +lef once, usually is done. Only observer to lay your Tricks Angle-wisse. + +[Transcribers note: Several diagrams here have been omitted, to the end +that one may easily perceive whether they be two, three, or four.] + + + F I N I S. + + + + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Royal Game of Ombre, by Anonymous + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE ROYAL GAME OF OMBRE *** + +***** This file should be named 9177.txt or 9177.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/9/1/7/9177/ + +Produced by Imran Ghory + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Original spelling and +punctuation has been preserved where possible.] + + +The Royal Game of the Ombre. + +Written At the Request of divers Honourable Persons. + +London + +Printed for Thomas Palmer, at the Crown in Westminster-Hall, 1665. + +The Royal Game of the Ombre. + +L'Ombre is a Spanish Game at Cards, as much as to say, The Man: so he who +undertakes to play the Game, sayes Jo so l'Ombre, or, I am the Man. And +'tis a common saying with the Spaniards, (alluding to the name) that the +Spanish l'Ombre as far surpasses the French le Beste, as a Man do's a +Beast, There are divers sorts of it, of which, this (which we shall only +treat of, and which chiefly is in vogue) is called the Renegado, for +reasons better supprest then known. + +_How many can play at it, and with what Cards they are to play._ + +There can only three play at it, and they are dealt nine Cards a piece: so +by discarding the Eights, Nines, and Tens out of the Pack, there remains +thirteen Cards in the Stock. + +_Of the Trump_ + +There is no turning up Trump, nor no Trump but what the Player pleases, +the first hand having alwayes the choice to play or pass, after him the +second, &c. + +_Of the Stakes_ + +For Stakes there are two sorts of Marks or Counters, the greater and the +less; for example if you value the great ones at 12. pence, the lesser may +be pence the piece (and so according as you please) of which great Marks +you stake each one one for the Game: and the lesser for passing, for the +hand, if you be eldest, and for taking in, giving for each Card you take +in, one Mark or Counter. + +_Of the names of the Cards, and order in ranking them_ + +_Of the Black Suits_ + +1. The Spadillio, or Ace of Spades. +2. The Mallilio, or black Deuces of either suit. +3. The Basto, or Ace of Clubs. +4. The King. +5. Queen. +6. Knave. +7. Seven. +8. Six. +9. Five. +10. Four. +11. And Three. + +_Of the Red Suits_ + +1. The Spadillio, or Ace of Spades. +2. The Mallilio, or Sevens of either Suit. +3. The Basto, or Ace of Clubs. +4. The Punto, or Ace of Hearts or Diamonds according as they are Trump. +5. The King. +6. The Queen. +7. The Knave. +8. The Deuce. +9. The Three. +10. The Four. +11. The Five. +12. The Six. + +_Observations._ + +By this you see first that the Spadillio, or Ace of Spades is always the +first Card, and alwayes Trump, be the Trump what suit soever; and the +Basto, or Ace of Clubs alwayes the third. Secondly, the of Black, there +are but eleven Trumps, and of Red twelve. Thirdly, that the Red Ace enters +into the fourth place when it is Trump, and then is called the Punto, +otherwise 'tis only rank'd after the Knave, and is only call'd the +Ace. Fourthly, that (excepting the Deuces of Black, and Sevens of Red, +which are call'd the Mallilio's, and are alwayes the second Cards when +they are Trumps) the least small Cards of the Red are alwayes best, and +the greatest of the Black. + +_Of the Matadors._ + +The Matadors or killing Cards, as the Spadillio, Mallilio, and Basto, are +the three chief Cards, and for these, when they are all in a hand (else +not) the others pay three of the greater Marks or Counters the piece; and +though there be no counting the Matadors without these three, yet these +three for foundation, you may count as many as you have Cards in an +interrupted series of Trumps; for all which the others are to pay you one +Mark or Counter, the piece, even to nine sometimes. + +_Of taking in, and the order and manner of it._ + +1. Who has the first Hand, has choice of playing the Game, of naming the +Trump, and of taking in as many of or as few Cards as he pleases, and +after him the second, &c. +2. Having once demanded whether any one will play _without taking in_, you +oblige your self to take in, though your Game be never so good: wherefore +you are well to consider it before. +3. If you name not the Trump before you look on the Cards which you have +taken in, any other may prevent you, and name what Trump they please. +4. If (as it often happens) you know not of two Suits which to name +Trump; e.g. with the two black Aces you have three Trumps of either +sorts: First, the Black Suit is to be preferr'd before the Red, because +there are fewer Trumps of it. Secondly, you are rather to choose that Suit +of which you have not the King, because besides your three Trumps, you +have a King, which is as good as a fourth. +5. When you have the choice of Going in three Matadors, or the two Black +Aces with three of four other Trumps, if the Stakes be great, you are to +chuse this last, (as most likely to win most Tricks) if it be but a simple +Stake, you are to chuse the first; because the six Counters you are to +receive for the Matadors, more then equavales the four or five, you lose +for the Game. + +_Observations._ + +1. He is to ask _if any will play without taking in._ (when they have the +choice of those who will not.) Secondly, he is never to take in, or play, +unless he have three sure Tricks in his hand at least: To understand +which the better we must know + +_The End of the Game_ + +The End of the Game is (as at Beast) to win most Tricks; whence he who can +win five tricks of the Nine, has a sure Games; or if he win Four, and can +so divide the Tricks, as one may win Two, the other Three: if not, 'tis +either Codillio or Repuesto, and the Player loses and makes good the +Stakes. + +_Of the Codillio._ + +The call it Codillio when the Player is beasted, and another wins more +Tricks then he; when this takes up the Stakes, and tother makes it good: +where note, that although the other two alwayes combine against the +Player to make him lose, yet they all do their best (for the common +good) to hinder any one from winning, onely striving to make it Repuesto. + +_Of the Repuesto._ + +They call it Repuesto when the Player wins no more Tricks then another: +for example, if he win but four, another four, and the third but one, or +each of them win three Tricks the piece; in which case the Player doubles +the Stake, without any ones winning it, and it remains so doubled for the +advantage of the next Player, &c. whence you may collect, that the Player +is as much concern'd in making Repuesto, in case of nesessity, as any of +the rest, by which means the Stakes oftentimes increasing to a +considerable summe, the Player is to be very wary what Games he playes. + +_What Games are to be played_ + +One is never to play unless he have three sure Tricks in his hand at +least, as we have said before; as the three Matadors, or six or seven good +Trumps without them; where note, the Kings of any Suit are alwayes +accounted as good as Trumps (since nothing but Trumps can win them) mean +while all other Cards but them and Trumps, are to be discarded. + +_Observations._ + +He who playes having taken in, the next is to consider the goodness of his +Game; and to take in more or less, according to his Game is probably like +to prove good or bad, alwayed considering, that 'tis as much his advantage +that the third have a good Game to make it Repuesto, as himself. Neither +is any one, for Covetousness of saving a Counter or two, to neglect, the +taking in, that the other may commodiously make up his Game with the Cards +which he leaves; and that no good Cards may lye dormant in the Stock, +except Player playe without taking in when they may refuse to take in, if +they imagine he has all the Game. + +_Of playing without taking in._ + +When one has a sure Game in his hand, he is to play without taking +in; when the others are to give him each of them one of the greater Marks +or Counters, as he is to give them, if he play without taking in, a Game +that is not sure, he'd(?) loses it. + +_Of the Voll._ + +If you win all the Tricks in your hand, or the Voll, they likewise are to +give you one Mark or Counter the piece; but then you are to declare before +the fifth Trick, that you intend to play for the Voll, that so they may +keep their best Cards, which else seeing you win five Tricks (or the +Game) they may carelesly cast away. + +_Of the Forfeitures_ + +If you Renounce, you are to double the Stake, this(?) also if you have +more or fewer Cards then Nine, (to avoid all wrangling or foul play) to +which end you are carefully to count your Cards both in dealing and taking +in, before you look on them; besides according to the Rigour of the Game, +if you speak any thing that may discover your Game, or anothers (excepting +onely Gagno as we shall declare afterwards) or play so, as wittingly to +hinder the making it Repueto or Codillio (and if ignorantly, you are not +fit to play.) + +_Of playing Trumps_ + +In playing Trump; you are to note, that if any playes an ordinary Trump, +and you have onely the three best Cards, or Matadors, singly or can +jointly in your hands, you may refuse to play them, without Renouncing, +because of the priviledge which those Cards have, that none but commanding +Cards can force them out of your hands; as for example, the Spadillio +forces the Mallilio, and the Mallilio the Basto; for all the rest you are +to follow Trump. + +_Of what you are to say_ + +You are to say nothing but onely, _I pass_, or _play_, or Gagno, that is, +'tis mine, simply, when you play your Card, to hinder the third from +taking it; or Gagno de l' Re when you play your Queen to hinder them from +taking it with the King, &c. but this you cannot say till it come unto +your turn. + +_General Rules_ + +'Tis impossible to provide against all accident in the Game, onely these +general Rules may be observ'd in playing: First, the chiefest Art +consisting in knowing the goodness of ones Gane, and how it may be +improved to the best, one is never to win more then one trick, if they +cannot win more then two because of the advantage they give the Player by +it in dividing the tricks. Secondly, you are alwayes to win the trick from +the Player if you can, unless you let it pass for more advantage, wherein +note the second is to let pass to the third; if he have the likelier Game +to beast the Player, or if he be likely to win it. + +_Of the Tenaces_ + +There may be divers advantages in refusing to take the Players trick, but +the cheifest is if you have Tenaces in your hands, that is, two Cards, +which if you have the leading, you are sure to lose one of them. If the +player lead to you, you are sure to win them both; for examples, if you +have Spadillio and Basto in your hand, & he have the Mallilio & another +Trump, if you lead you lose one of the; for either you lead your + +Spadillio, and he player his lesser Trump upon it and wins your Basto +the next trick with his Mallilio, and so the contrary; whereas if he +leads, he loses both; for if he lead his Mallilio, you take it with your +Spadillio, and with your Basto win the other Trump; or if he lead with +that, you take it with your Basto; and then your Spadillio wins his +Mallilio, and 'tis called Tenaces, because it so catches you betwixt +them, there is no avoiding it, &c. + +_Of the Players playing his game for his best advantage_ + +Of this (becuase every one playes according to his own fancy) I will only +say, that if you are not sure of winning five Tricks, but have only the +three Matadors, (as for example) and Kings be your Auxilary Cards, if you +have the leading you are to begin with a Matador or two before you play +your Kings, to fetch out those Trump perhaps which might have trumped +them; and if you have three Matadors with two other Trumps your best way +is first to play you Matadors, to see how the Trump lie, and if both +follow, you are sure that if three Trump be Red, there remains onely one +Trump in their hands; if Black, none at all; it importing so much that the +player counts the Trumps, as the miscounting only one, do's often lose the +Game. In fine, if they have but a weak Game, they are to intimate cunning +Beast Players, in dividing Tricks, and consult them in playing of their +Cards. And these few Instructions may suffice, leaving the rest to each +one's particular observation. + +Certain other more Questions there are; as whether any may look on the +Tricks to see what Cards are played beside the Ombre, or he who playes the +Game, which ordinarily is resolved on the affirmative; or when any Cards +are left in the Stock, whether any may look on them or no, which the Table +lef once, usually is done.
