Английская Википедия:Belle, Flux et Trente-et-Un
Belle, Flux et Trente-et-Un, is an historical, gambling card game that was widespread in France and Germany during the 17th and 18th centuries. As a relative of Brag and Poch, from which the game of Poker developed, it is of cultural-historical interest.
The game is also called Les Trois Jeux ("The Three Games") or, in German, Dreisatz ("Triple Stake") or Belle, Fluss und Einunddreißig ("Belle, FlushШаблон:Efn and Thirty One"). Meanwhile Parlett records it as Best, Flush and Thirty-One.Шаблон:Sfn
Rules
The following rules are taken from Lacombe (1800):[1]
Overview
The game is played by two to twelve players with a pack of 52 French playing cards; in addition three coin dishes are needed for the three stakes. Before the start of the game, players agree how many deals or how long they will play for. Then each player puts an agreed amount of money into each of the three baskets (paniers).[1]
Like Poch, Belle, Flux et Trente-et-Un is a compound game of 3 parts, hence the names Dreisatz ("Triple Stake") and Les Trois Jeux ("The Three Games").
Belle
Once the stakes have been placed, each player is dealt 2 cards, face down, and 1 card, face up. The player who has the highest upcard, the so-called Belle, wins the first deal and the contents of the first basket.[1]
The ranking of the cards is as in Écarté with the Ace between the Jack and Ten:[1]
- King – Queen – Jack – Ace – Ten – Nine – ... – Two
If two or more tie with the highest cards, there is no winner and the stakes remain in the basket for the next deal.[1]Шаблон:Efn
Flux
In the second deal, Flux,Шаблон:Efn the winner is the player who has the highest-value flush. A flush is a hand of three cards of the same suit. In this phase, the Ace is the highest card.[1]
If two or more players have a flush, the card points are added and the highest-value flush wins. For this, the Aces counts as 11 points, the court cards 10 each, and the pip cards score from 2 to 9 depending on their natural value. If there is a tie, or if no player has a flush, the stakes remain in the basket for the next game.[1]
Unlike the game of Poch, there is no betting on the highest combination, as subsequently became typical for Poker. There is also no option to bluff.
Trente-Un
Finally, in the third deal each player attempts, by exchanging cards if necessary, to score 31 points, or to get as close to 31 points as possible (c.f. Vingt-et-Un, and the third round of Brag). The player who comes closest to 31, wins the contents of the third basket. If there is a tie, the stake is carried forward to the next deal.[1]
The modern casino game of Black Jack was developed from this contract via Trente-et-Un and Vingt-et-Un.
