Post and Pair
Post and Pair is a 16th-century English gambling card game based on the same three-card combinations, namely Prial, found in related game of this family. It is much depended on vying, or betting, requiring repeated staking as well as daring on the part of the players. It is considered a derivative on the game of Primero and closely resembles Put,〔Once a Week, vol. X, p. 364 – Eneas Sweetland Dallas – Bradbury & Evans, London 1863.〕 having been as popular as Gleek and Noddy during the Tudor Dynasty.
== History ==
It is generally agreed by every expert and researcher in the field of playing cards that the game of Post and Pair clearly derives from the game of Primero. Due to its gaming mechanics and resemblance with Primero and its variants, it is easily implied that Post and Pair evolved into a faster-paced card game with the addition of rules borrowed from neighboring games, like the Tudor game of "Post", attested by the Oxford English Dictionary from the early 16th to the 17th centuries, which may have survived longer in local versions.〔Francis Willughby’s book of games – a seventeenth treatise on sports, p. 275 – Francis Willughny, David Cram - London, 1816〕
Charles Cotton in his 1674 ''The Complete Gamester'', mentions that Post ad Pair was particularly popular in the west of England, as well as All Fours was popular in Kent and Fives in Ireland. And if Francis Willughby gives no rules for the game, Holme and Cotton describe it as a three-stake game almost identical to a variation of Brag called Three-card brag, or Three-stake Brag.〔The Cyclopedia of Cards and Table Games, p. 50, Professor Hoffmann, London 1891
It is extremely difficult to get any reliable information as to the game of Post, but it is known that the threefold stake is one of its special features, and that the three events whereon the distribution depends, are distinguished by the name of Post, Pair and Seat. It is suggested by Cavendish that these three, but in reverse order, are respectively identical to the three above mentioned.〕
