Random information on the term “May I”:
Pope Joan, a once popular Victorian family game, is an 18th-century English round game of cards for three to eight players derived from the French game of Matrimony and Comete and ancestor to Spinado and the less elaborate Newmarket. The game is related to the German Poch and French Nain Jaune.
Although its first published rules appeared in Hoyle’s Games edition of 1814, an earlier reference to the game, originally called Pope Julius, appeared in The Oxford English Dictionary in 1732.
The name is a corruption of “nain jaune” (yellow dwarf), the name of 9♦ in France where the game originated. Pope Joan refers to the legend that Pope John VIII was actually a woman. As the Catholic Church denies a female pope, the legend was used as Protestant propaganda in the Victorian-Era, which also explains the popularity of the game in Scotland. The 9♦ is sometimes called the Curse of Scotland.
A staking board is required, with eight compartments labelled Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Game, Pope (9♦), Matrimony (K Q of trumps) and Intrigue (Q J of trumps). Each player receives a number of counters, or chips, whose value is determined by the players involved in the game. The 8♦ is then removed from the pack to form a stop sequence, which classifies the game as a sub-group of the stop family of games. The aim of the game is to run out of cards before anyone else.
