I've got a rough draft up at,

http://bits.bris.ac.uk/imran/games/cards.html

I'll clean it up and add quotes and an introduction when I have some
spare time. But I've got the important parts up (date/source).

Incidently does anyone know of any period references to the
game of "Imperial", as I've got one from 1577, but the next one after that
is from 1798 ?
