52 card deck- China 1377
Suits added in cards by france in 1470
English played a gambling bluffing game called Brag in the 16th century. Each player antes and were delt 3 cards face down with a similar card ranking like poker. The player had to fold or call. In a house game we used to play a modern version of Brag called Guts. In Guts if you called and lost, the loser or losers had to match the pot, and the next round was delt with a larger pot. I would give the credit to the poker starting in England, and the beginning of our modern game of poker being developed in the USA by the riverboat gamblers.
