Kvitlech

'notes', 'slips')[note 1] is a card game similar to Twenty-One played in some Ashkenazi Jewish homes during the Hanukkah season.

The game and deck were likely created by Hassidic Jews living in Galicia during the late 18th or 19th century.

The pack may have originated from Hexenspiel decks by stripping them of picture cards so as to avoid idolatry.

[6] The cards were decorated with Hebrew numerals and common objects such as teapots, feathers, and sometimes portraits of biblical heroes.

[7][2] Piatnik & Söhne of Vienna was the largest producer of these cards during the 19th and 20th centuries which helped spread the game among Jews living in Austria-Hungary and their North American diaspora.
