A precursor to Blackjack, One and Thirty is a fun card game that is easy to learn. While Shakespeare did not mention this game by name in his plays, several of his contemporaries including Thomas Middleton, used this game on stage, and their plays are one resource we use to understand how this game was played. In this week's episode, I will share with your a brief history about the game and cards in Shakespeare's lifetime, then I will show you how to play.
