Brag is an 18th century Britishcard game, and the British national representative of the vying or ’bluffing’ family of gambling games.[1] It is a descendant of the Elizabethan game of Primero[2] and one of the several ancestors to poker, the modern version just varying in betting style and hand rankings. It has been described as the ’longest-standing British representative of the Poker family.’[3]History[edit]
The rules of Brag first appear in 1721 in The Compleat Gamester where it is referred to as ’The Ingenious and Pleasant Game of Bragg’,[4] but in fact, it originates in an almost identical game called Post and Pair which is recorded as far back as 1528 (as Post) and which, in turn, was descended from Primero.[3] However, Brag introduced a key innovation over Post and Pair: the concept of wild cards known as ’braggers’. Initially there was just one, the Knave of Clubs; later the Nine of Diamonds was added.[4] In parallel with this early three-stake game, in 1751 Hoyle describes a version of Brag with a shortened pack that only had a single phase – the vying or ’bragging’ round – with special powers for certain Jacks and Nines, thus anticipating the modern single-stake game.[5] In 1825, an early American account of Brag describes a much more elaborate single-stake game with a complex vying procedure.[6] Not until 1860 are rules for both variants published in one compendium, whereby ’Three Stake Brag’ is virtually unchanged from the earliest rules and the version of ’Single Brag’ described is less complicated than its American cousin.[7]
In a 1981 survey by Waddingtons, Brag was the fourth most popular card game in Britain.[8] In 1992, Parlett stated that the classic three-stake variant (see Classic Brag below) was defunct; nevertheless, its rules were still being published in 2001.[9][10]Classic Brag[edit]
The earliest published rules for any form of Brag appear in Richard Seymour’s 1721 revision of Charles Cotton’s The Compleat Gamester. They are less than complete, but with the aid of later descriptions, can be reconstructed.[a] The following is based on Seymour, supplemented by The New Pocket Hoyle (1810).[4][11]
Classic Brag is a three-stake game and players ante 3 stakes, one for each phase of the game. Eldest hand deals 3 cards to each player in turn, turning the last card dealt to each player face up. The game phases are:
*Best Card. In the first phase the player with the highest card won the stakes, cards ranking in their natural order from Ace downwards, except that the ♦A outranked the other Aces.
*Bragging. In the second phase, players passed or vied. The procedure is not detailed, but based on the 1810 Hoyle, beginning with elder hand, players would pass or say ’I brag’ and place a stake. If a player bragged, he could be challenged by another player matching or raising the stake. If two players wished to challenge, the elder took precedence. Vying continued between the two players until one passed or said ’I’ll see you’ or the equivalent whereupon both revealed their hands. A Prial (or Pair Royal) beat a Pair which beat a single card. Two Pair Royals were decided by their ranking; likewise two Pairs and so on. The ♣J was a wild card, which could represent any other card, but a natural hand beat a ’wild’ hand i.e. one with the Knave[b] of Clubs. Some circles also admitted the ♦9 as a wild card.
*Thirty One. In the third phase, players scored their hands and the first player to reach exactly 31 or, if no-one did, was closest to 31, won the stakes. To that end, courts and Aces scored 10 and pips their face value. Players could improve their hand by exchanging a card with the stock, but if they ’drew out’, i.e. exceeded 31, they lost. If two or more scored the same, they drew again until a winner was established.[c]American Brag[edit]
In 1825, the first American account of Brag appeared in a New York edition of Hoyle’s Games Improved. This was a far more elaborate variant based solely on the bragging phase of classic Brag.[12]Modern Brag[edit]
Modern Brag, often called Three-Card Brag to distinguish it from its variants, is a single-stake game. Everyone antes, and players are each dealt three cards face down. There is a single round of betting, with action starting to the left of the dealer. Each player has the option of betting or folding. If there was a previous bet, the player must contribute at least that much more to the pot. (Unlike usual poker betting, a player’s previous money contributed to the pot is ignored.) This betting continues until there are only two players left, at which point either player may double the previous bet to ’see’ his opponent. At this point, the two hands are revealed, and the player with the better hand takes the entire pot. If there is a tie, the player who is seeing loses.
For example, with four players A, B, C and D, this situation could occur: Player A bets 2 chips, B folds, C bets 2 chips and D bets 2 chips. In order to stay in, A would have to bet another 2 chips (at least).Hand ranks[edit]

Three of a kind
Straight

High card
Hands generally follow the same sequence as the five-card hands of poker with some variation created by the differing odds of a three-card hand. As there are only three cards, four of a kind and a full house are not possible. Three of a kind is a very high-ranked hand, while a straight beats a flush, as three-card flushes are more likely than three-card straights while the reverse is true of five-card poker hands. The full probabilities are as follows:Hand ranksRankDescriptionFrequencyProbabilityStraight flushThree suited cards in sequence480.22%Prial or Three of a kindThree cards of same rank520.24%StraightThree cards in sequence7203.26%FlushThree suited cards1,0964.96%PairTwo cards of same rank3,74416.94%High cardNone of the above16,44074.39%Total hands-22,100-Prial[edit]
In Brag, three-of-a-kind is known as a prial, a word derived from ’pair royal’. As such, three sevens would be described as ’a prial (of) sevens’.Variants[edit]
*Four-card Brag: Players are dealt four cards, and must then choose which card to throw away (place at the bottom of the deck) in order to create the best combination. The game is then played in the same way as three-card brag.[citation needed]
*Five-card Brag.[13]
*Seven-card Brag: Seven cards are dealt, players must choose three cards to play from their hands, or make two hands, with only a successful win if both hands win the pot.[13]
*Nine-card Brag: Nine cards are dealt, players sort these into three sets. Four antes are played, one for each set, and a main pot. Each set is then played out, usually without further betting. The winner of each set takes one lot of antes; if a player wins all three sets they receive the main pot as well, otherwise it remains for the next hand. Players must always play the next best available set they have made. Often a player may be able to make two good sets and a poor third (e.g. prial, straight, ten-high), so players that do not think they will be able to win all three will order their hands to leave themselves with a strong third set to protect the main pot.[13]
*Thirteen-card Brag: Thirteen cards are dealt, from which players must choose three cards to play. Another variation involves making four hands (or the most possible over a certain standard) from the thirteen cards. Four of a kind can also be played, and is usually rewarded by an additional fee to be paid by the other players, apart from any original stake. Players then show their respective best hands, then second best hands, etc., with each winning hand scoring that player a point, or points. Score is kept on a cribbage board, and is usually either a sprint of 10 or so holes, with one point scored for each winning hand, or played over the full length, or street, of the board, with 4 points awarded to the best highest hand, 3 points to the best second-highest hand, etc. Players not on the board by the time someone wins may have to pay double. Winnings are either a pre-arranged fixed amount from each loser to the winner, or paid proportionate to how far behind the winner they finish. Any player winning all four hands in any round is said to have crashed, and automatically wins the entire game. In some regions the game is known as ’Crash’.[citation needed]
*Fifteen card Brag: A normally non-gambling related variant, played as a family game. Each player is dealt fifteen cards, from which they make five three-card tricks. Each player must then lay their tricks down in order, highest first. The winner is the one who wins the most tricks. This variant has a much higher likelihood of more powerful tricks, due to the extra cards. This version can also be played with 10 cards and one card is discarded.[citation needed]
*Stop the Bus: Three cards are dealt to each player, and three face-up communal cards are dealt. Players take turns at exchanging one or all (but not two) of their cards for any or all of the communal cards. Play continues until one player ’sticks’, or ’knocks’, meaning that they are happy with their hand. All the remaining players then exchange one last time before hands are compared. The player with the lowest hand is out, or loses a life.
*Faras or teen patti (literally ’three cards’ in Hindi). A variant of the game very popular in Trinidad, India, Bangladesh and Nepal, and played with numerous local variations.[citation needed]
Some of these rules can also lead to games, especially heads-up, becoming tactical, with players avoiding making their best hand until their hand is forced into that last exchange by another player sticking, risking that the card that completes their hand isn’t taken by another player in the meantime.Betting blind[edit]
Players also have the option of playing blind (betting without looking at their cards). A blind player’s costs are all half as much as an open (non-blind) player’s. However, an open player may not see a blind player. If all other players fold to a blind player, the pot remains, everyone re-antes, and the blind player gets to keep his hand for the next round (in addition to the new one he is dealt). At any time, a player with two blind hands may look at one of them and decide whether to keep it or throw it away. If he keeps it, he throws away the other hand and is considered open. If he throws it away, he keeps the other hand and is still blind. If everyone folds to a blind player with two hands, he must throw away one without looking. As with many rules in card games, regional differences apply to this rule.Shuffling[edit]
Another unusual custom of Brag is that the deck is rarely shuffled. Unless a hand is seen and won by a prial, the cards from the hand are just placed on the bottom of the deck, and the next hand is dealt without shuffling.See also[edit]Footnotes[edit]

*Three Card BragIntroduction
Brag is a popular British gambling game. It is sometimes said to be similar to poker, but in fact it is much older and the method of betting is different. The basic game of three-card Brag was one of the games described by Hoyle, and therefore dates from the late eighteenth century or earlier. It is almost identical to the popular Indian game Teen Patti (’three cards’).
On this page, Three Card Brag and its Four-card and Five-card variations will be described. There are other games known as 6-card, 7-card, 9-card and 13-card Brag; but they have a very different mechanism and will are covered on a separate page.
This page has been put together from a variety of sources, and I am grateful to those who have contributed, including: Jon Garibaldi, Thomas Olsson, Dave Phillips, Jamie Prestidge, Chris Roberts, Phill Rogers, Brian Rollo, Justin Thurkettle, Mike Tobias.Three Card BragPlayers, cards and preparation
A standard 52 card pack without jokers is used. The cards in each suit rank in the usual order from high to low: A-K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2. The number of players can vary, but it is probably best for about 4 to 8 people.
Three Card Brag is a gambling game. Before starting it is essential that the players agree on the stake and have a common understanding of the rules. It is necessary to agree:
*the initial stake or ante - which is the amount (if any) that everyone must put into the pot before each deal;
*the minimum and maximum initial bet - the amount that the first player bets in order to stay in the hand;
*the limit (if any) on the amount by which the bet can be increased by each subsequent player;
*any variations to the basic rules, such as use of wild cards.Ranking of hands
The order of the possible three-card Brag hands, from highest to lowest, is as follows.Combination Examples ExplanationPrial3-3-3A-A-A. . .2-2-2’Prial’ - short for ’pair royal’ - is the name in Brag for a set of three cards of equal rank. The best is threes, and the other prials follow in the rank order of the cards: A-A-A, K-K-K, Q-Q-Q, etc. down to 5-5-5, 4-4-4, 2-2-2, three twos being the lowest prial.Running flush3-2-AA-K-Q. . .4-3-2
A running flush is a set of three consecutive cards of the same suit. A run is a set of three consecutive cards of mixed suits. Although the ace is high, A-2-3 counts as a valid run - or a valid running flush if all the cards are the same suit. In fact A-2-3 is the highest run or running flush, A-K-Q of a suit is the second highest, then K-Q-J, and so on down to 4-3-2, which is the lowest. 2-A-K is not a valid run or running flush.
Any running flush beats any run with mixed suits - so for example 4-3-2 beats 3-2-A or A-K-Q.Run3-2-AA-K-Q. . .4-3-2FlushA-K-J. . .5-3-2A flush consists of three cards of the same suit - not all consecutive, or it would be a running flush. When comparing flushes, the highest card is compared first, then if these are equal the middle card, and finally if necessary the lowest. Therefore K-9-2 beats Q-10-5, which beats Q-10-3, which beats Q-9-8.PairA-A-K. . .2-2-3A pair consists of two cards of equal rank. The third card is of a different rank, otherwise you would have a prial. When comparing pairs, the rank of the pair is compared first (aces are highest), and if two players have the same pair the odd card determines which and is higher. So for example 9-9-3 beats 8-8-K, which beats 8-8-J.High cardA-K-J. . .5-3-2Three cards that do not form any of the above combinations. As with flushes, these rank according to the highest card; if the highest cards of two hands are equal the second highest cards are compared, and if these are equal too then the third highest. So J-6-3 beats 10-9-7, which beats 10-9-6.
There is no order of suits, so it is possible for two hands to be equal in rank - for example 7-7-Q is equal to 7-7-Q. In a contest between two equal hands the calling player (the player who paid to see the other hand) loses (see betting, below).
Poker players should take care to note that the ’run’ and ’flush’ in Brag rank in the opposite order to Poker.Ante and deal
Before each deal, each player must place the agreed initial stake (ante) in the pot. Deal and play are clockwise, and the turn to deal passes to the left after each hand.
If it is the first deal of the session, the dealer shuffles. For subsequent deals, the cards are only shuffled if the previous hand was ’seen’ and won by a prial. Apart from that, the cards not normally shuffled between hands. The cards from the previous hand are just added to the bottom of the pack and the dealer deals the new hands from the top, without shuffling.
The dealer deals out the cards one at a time, face down to the players, until everyone has three cards. Players may look at their own cards, or may choose not to, if they wish to play ’blind’ - see below. Cards must at never be shown to any player other than the person to whom they were dealt, unless the betting ends with a ’see’. In that case the cards of the two players involved (but none of the others) are exposed for everyone to see.
Note: the practice of not shuffling makes it possible in some circumstances to know what cards are in play when the same cards come around again. This is particularly useful when there are 3 or 6 players. With 3 players (A,

*Four-card Brag: Players are dealt four cards, and must then choose which card to throw away (place at the bottom of the deck) in order to create the best combination. The game is then played in the same way as three-card brag.[citation needed]

Play continues until one player ’sticks’, or ’knocks’, meaning that they are happy with their hand. All the remaining players then exchange one last time before hands are compared.

*Three Card BragIntroduction
Brag is a popular British gambling game. It is sometimes said to be similar to poker, but in fact it is much older and the method of betting is different. The basic game of three-card Brag was one of the games described by Hoyle, and therefore dates from the late eighteenth century or earlier. It is almost identical to the popular Indian game Teen Patti (’three cards’).
On this page, Three Card Brag and its Four-card and Five-card variations will be described. There are other games known as 6-card, 7-card, 9-card and 13-card Brag; but they have a very different mechanism and will are covered on a separate page.
This page has been put together from a variety of sources, and I am grateful to those who have contributed, including: Jon Garibaldi, Thomas Olsson, Dave Phillips, Jamie Prestidge, Chris Roberts, Phill Rogers, Brian Rollo, Justin Thurkettle, Mike Tobias.Three Card BragPlayers, cards and preparation
A standard 52 card pack without jokers is used. The cards in each suit rank in the usual order from high to low: A-K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2. The number of players can vary, but it is probably best for about 4 to 8 people.
Three Card Brag is a gambling game. Before starting it is essential that the players agree on the stake and have a common understanding of the rules. It is necessary to agree:
*the initial stake or ante - which is the amount (if any) that everyone must put into the pot before each deal;
*the minimum and maximum initial bet - the amount that the first player bets in order to stay in the hand;
*the limit (if any) on the amount by which the bet can be increased by each subsequent player;
*any variations to the basic rules, such as use of wild cards.Ranking of hands
The order of the possible three-card Brag hands, from highest to lowest, is as follows.Combination Examples ExplanationPrial3-3-3A-A-A. . .2-2-2’Prial’ - short for ’pair royal’ - is the name in Brag for a set of three cards of equal rank. The best is threes, and the other prials follow in the rank order of the cards: A-A-A, K-K-K, Q-Q-Q, etc. down to 5-5-5, 4-4-4, 2-2-2, three twos being the lowest prial.Running flush3-2-AA-K-Q. . .4-3-2
A running flush is a set of three consecutive cards of the same suit. A run is a set of three consecutive cards of mixed suits. Although the ace is high, A-2-3 counts as a valid run - or a valid running flush if all the cards are the same suit. In fact A-2-3 is the highest run or running flush, A-K-Q of a suit is the second highest, then K-Q-J, and so on down to 4-3-2, which is the lowest. 2-A-K is not a valid run or running flush.
Any running flush beats any run with mixed suits - so for example 4-3-2 beats 3-2-A or A-K-Q.Run3-2-AA-K-Q. . .4-3-2FlushA-K-J. . .5-3-2A flush consists of three cards of the same suit - not all consecutive, or it would be a running flush. When comparing flushes, the highest card is compared first, then if these are equal the middle card, and finally if necessary the lowest. Therefore K-9-2 beats Q-10-5, which beats Q-10-3, which beats Q-9-8.PairA-A-K. . .2-2-3A pair consists of two cards of equal rank. The third card is of a different rank, otherwise you would have a prial. When comparing pairs, the rank of the pair is compared first (aces are highest), and if two players have the same pair the odd card determines which and is higher. So for example 9-9-3 beats 8-8-K, which beats 8-8-J.High cardA-K-J. . .5-3-2Three cards that do not form any of the above combinations. As with flushes, these rank according to the highest card; if the highest cards of two hands are equal the second highest cards are compared, and if these are equal too then the third highest. So J-6-3 beats 10-9-7, which beats 10-9-6.
There is no order of suits, so it is possible for two hands to be equal in rank - for example 7-7-Q is equal to 7-7-Q. In a contest between two equal hands the calling player (the player who paid to see the other hand) loses (see betting, below).
Poker players should take care to note that the ’run’ and ’flush’ in Brag rank in the opposite order to Poker.Ante and deal
Before each deal, each player must place the agreed initial stake (ante) in the pot. Deal and play are clockwise, and the turn to deal passes to the left after each hand.
If it is the first deal of the session, the dealer shuffles. For subsequent deals, the cards are only shuffled if the previous hand was ’seen’ and won by a prial. Apart from that, the cards not normally shuffled between hands. The cards from the previous hand are just added to the bottom of the pack and the dealer deals the new hands from the top, without shuffling.
The dealer deals out the cards one at a time, face down to the players, until everyone has three cards. Players may look at their own cards, or may choose not to, if they wish to play ’blind’ - see below. Cards must at never be shown to any player other than the person to whom they were dealt, unless the betting ends with a ’see’. In that case the cards of the two players involved (but none of the others) are exposed for everyone to see.
Note: the practice of not shuffling makes it possible in some circumstances to know what cards are in play when the same cards come around again. This is particularly useful when there are 3 or 6 players. With 3 players (A,
