Trente – Six was also called the Thirty- Six Beasts and involved numbered animal cards and counters with rules for a betting game intended for children. The cards, 72 in total, are actually two full sets of 36 cards. Each card has a picture of an animal with its name and a number. The players all have counters in order to establish a stake. All 72 cards are in play and each player is dealt two. They must add the number of the animals together in order to reach the highest number achieved in that round. The Lion is worth the most at 36 and, as there are two sets of cards in circulation, it’s possible that a player might be dealt two. Players then declare their totals. If a player is unhappy with the cards dealt they can pay into the pool in order to draw another. In essence the highest pair wins but the option of substituting cards by increasing your stake demonstrates that some judgement was required so this was not just a game of chance. Trente- Six was published around 1880 and there are two packs held in the collection with 70 cards not 72.
