Ace–ten game

Apart from that, the earliest known record of a point-trick game dates to 1522 when Rümpffen was described alongside, flussen, scherlentzen, karnyffeln and Bockenmendeln.

[4] Other early examples include Trappola, which we know from Girolamo Cardano was current in Venice in 1524,[5] and Triumph, which is described in England in 1586.

In 1980, Sir Michael Dummett argued that they were most likely to have been invented by users of French cards in the Netherlands area, a hypothesis supported by the Dutch origin of the Swiss national game of Jass.

[6] In 2000, John McLeod wrote that we can trace their development "from Brisque and Mariage in the 16th century along various paths to produce 66 and Tyziacha, Maria Ulti, Schafkopf, Doppelkopf and Skat, as well as the Jass games.

Despite unfounded claims for the invention of 66 at Paderborn in 1652, it is not recorded until 1715[9] although Kozietulski stated in 1888 that it had been popular in Poland for two centuries which dates its appearance there to the late 17th century and he doubts it is of Polish origin on account of its French name and the marriage feature which appears in old French games.
