North American All Fours, Old Sledge or Seven UpTo judge from the literature, All Fours became very popular in North America in the 19th century. In the 20th century it was largely superseded by bidding variations such as Pitch and Pedro. In American card game books of the early 19th century, All Fours is a two-player game, very similar to the 17th century English game described above. When cutting for deal the cards now rank in their normal order with ace high, and the deal can be one or three cards at a time at the dealer's choice. Many play that if the non-dealer begs and the dealer decides to change the trump suit, then after the necessary extra cards have been dealt, the players discard unwanted cards to reduce their hands to six cards. The target score is 10 points. The version of All Fours described by R.F.Foster in 1897 goes by the name of Old Sledge or Seven Up. It can be played by two or three players, each playing for themselves, or by four players in fixed partnerships, partners sitting opposite. The deal and play are clockwise and the turn to deal passes to the left after each hand. The dealer shuffles, the player to dealer's right cuts. The dealer deals six cards to each player, three at a time, and then turns up a card to show the proposed trump suit. The player to dealer's left may beg, and dealer has the usual options.
If a jack is turned up for trump, the dealer (or dealer's team) scores one point for it, but if the cards are run, no point is scored for a jack turned up in the original turned suit, and no point is scored if the cards are bunched. The point is only scored if the turned up card that finally determines trumps is a jack. After the cards have been run and a new trump suit determined, all players discard face-down sufficient unwanted cards to reduce their hands to six cards. In some circles this was only done if the players had 12 or more cards, but if the cards were run only once, the players kept and played with their 9-card hands. The player to dealer's left leads and the usual All Fours rules of play apply: players may trump at any time but can only throw a non-trump of a different suit from the lead if unable to follow suit. The highest trump wins, or if no trump is played, the highest card of the suit led. The winner of a trick leads to the next. There are the usual four points: High, Low, Jack and Game, scored in that order, with the Low point going to the original holder of the card, not the player who wins it in a trick. In the event of a tie for Game in the two- or four-player game, the point goes to the opponent(s) of the dealer. This is meant to compensate to some extent for the dealer's advantage in being able to score a point if a jack is turned for trumps. In a three-player game, if the two non-dealers tie for the Game point no one gets it, but if the dealer ties with another player, the other player gets it. The game is usually played to seven points. Each player or team starts with seven chips, and places one in the pool for each point they win; the winner is the first player or team to have placed all their chips in the pool. Foster describes a variation called Blind All Fours or Pitch in which no card is turned for trumps and there is no begging or running of the cards. In this game the first card pitched by the player to dealer's left fixes the trump suit (as in Lancashire All Fours). In this game, when the Game point is tied no one gets it. |
