Belle, Flux et Trente-et-Un

The suit of spades from a 52-card French pack (Écarté ranking)

Belle, Flux et Trente-et-Un, is an historical, gambling card game that was widespread in France and Germany during the 17th and 18th centuries. As a relative of Brag and Poch, from which the game of Poker developed, it is of cultural-historical interest.

The game is also called Les Trois Jeux ("The Three Games") or, in German, Dreisatz ("Triple Stake") or Belle, Fluss und Einunddreißig ("Belle, Flush[a] and Thirty One"). Meanwhile Parlett records it as Best, Flush and Thirty-One.[1]
