Nine-card Nap
This may be described as the last innovation in the game. It is conducted
on exactly similar lines to the five card method, except that nine cards
are held by each player, none being discarded as in the last mentioned
variation, but it has not yet become popular, and in view of the fact that
even with only three players more than half the pack is in use, its scope
is far more limited than any other variety. In this variation the person
calling Nap would have to make all nine tricks, a most difficult and
very unfrequent occurrence. It will be found to be a pleasing variety
for two players who are of about equal skill at the ordinary game,
its possibilities being so different from that method, but we doubt
its ever being made as popular as the five card game.
