Cinch, Double Pedro, or High Five (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Cinch, Double Pedro, or High Five

Cinch is a game of cards the scion of one Of the most ancient and honorable families, that Of All Fours.

In America, where there is little respect for tradition or conservatism, the name Of All Fours has been almost entirely dropped for that Of seven-up, a name which refers to the number Of points necessary to win the game, and which might be equally applied to Whist or sixty-six. Probably few persons are aware that the name itself, All Fours, forms part of the evidence that enables us to trace the history Of playing cards to their origin.
