Tujeon

In a full eight-suited deck, the suits and their generals are as follows:[2][3] Yu Deuk-gong (1749–1807) wrote in his Seoul Miscellany (Korean: 경도잡지; Hanja: 京都雜志) that in the suits of stars, horses, roe deer, and rabbits, the ranking of the numeral cards are in inverted order with nine being the lowest rank and one being the second highest, outranked only by the general.

King Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800) issued several ineffective bans against tujeon after gambling was causing serious social problems.

[2][9] It is played with the 60 card deck and the object is to reach gabo or kapo which is gambling slang for 9.

[10] Another similar game is Komi, played with Ganjapa cards, from Odisha, India along Portugal's old trade routes.

[11] Baccarat did not appear in Europe until mid-19th century France and was preceded by a simpler game called Macao, further hinting at a Portuguese connection.
