As many as seven persons can play. but OF

player in turn has to declare whether he will
play or pay forfeit. tho latter being calcu lated
on an elaborate system. which Gen. Palmer
explains. The. object in playing is TO use
some card in the players hand to pair with
one on the table. and tho game goes ON until
the, whole of the cards in the pack are paired
and captured.
The system OF counting. also. seems highly
complicated. and Gen, Pulmcr's tables and
calculations, show that he is quite correct in
describing the game as "hristlnE with diff
culties." He SAYS. however. that it embodies
the features Of all nrst-class games,o of cards.
and demands long training. good memory.
and great readiness in counting. The element
of chance enters into it about to the same ex-
tent as in the best Western games. Those
familiar with poker say that the Japanese
game surpasses it as one OF chance and skill
