Romestecq is an historical Dutch card game for two, four or six players in two teams that dates to at least the 17th century.

Despite being criticised in contemporary sources as "complicated" it continued to appear in the literature until the end of the 19th century and was sufficiently interesting for it to appear in The Penguin Book of Card Games in 2008.

[3] Parlett records that it was played in the Low Countries as Roemstek and erroneously called Rumstick in an English source.

[2] It is frequently recorded in French games compendia until the end of the 19th century, for example, in Moulidars (1888).

The dealer deals five cards each in any combination desired: one-by-one or in packets of two, three or five.
