  7. Écarté
    `Écarté` is a two-player card game originating from France, the word literally meaning `discarded`. It is a trick-taking game, similar to Whist, but with a special and eponymous discarding phase. It is closely related to Euchre, a card game played mainly in the USA, and it seems likely that Écarté is the game from which Euchre was developed. Écarté was popular in the 19th century, but is now rarely played.

This day in history:
The Royal Suspension Chain Pier was opened on 25 November 1823 with a procession and firework display, but, to the disappointment of the town, without royalty being present. It proved an immediate success with both cross-channel travellers and also with promenaders who were charged an admission of two pence or one guinea annually. The pier also attracted many artists with its graceful outline, including Constable and Turner. read more
