Boston (card game) (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

Boston or Boston Whist is an 18th-century, trick-taking, card game played throughout the Western world apart from Britain, forming an evolutionary link between Hombre and Solo Whist. Apparently named after a key location in the American War of Independence, it is probably a French game which was devised in France in the 1770s, combining the 52-card pack and logical ranking system of partnership Whist with a range of solo and alliance bids borrowed from Quadrille. Other lines of descent and hybridization produced the games of Twenty-five, Préférence and Skat. Its most common form is known as Boston de Fontainebleau or French Boston.

dbo:abstract Boston ist ein nach der nordamerikanischen Stadt Boston benanntes historisches Kartenspiel, das im 18. Jahrhundert zur Zeit des amerikanischen Freiheitskampfes erfunden worden sein soll, wahrscheinlich ist das Spiel aber schon etwas älter und französischen Ursprungs. Boston enthält Elemente des Whist, aber auch der Quadrille und war vor allem im 19. Jahrhundert sehr populär. Die Popularität von Boston war relativ kurzlebig, doch es war sehr einflussreich für die Entwicklung der Kartenspiele als zweites bedeutendes Spiel nach der L’Hombre-Familie, das das Prinzip des Reizens oder Bietens verwendete. Im Gegensatz zu L’Hombre wurde beim Bieten auch das Spielziel verändert (beispielsweise: keinen Stich zu machen), nicht nur die Bedingungen, das Spielziel zu erreichen. Dies hatte insbesondere Einfluss auf Spiele der Tarock-Familie.

Spelet har fått sitt namn efter staden Boston i USA och härrör från tiden för det amerikanska frihetskriget. Till skillnad mot vanlig whist bildar inte spelarna partnerpar, utan var och en spelar för sig. Genom budgivning utses en spelförare, som har att försöka spela hem sitt bud. För motspelarna gäller det att förhindra detta. I Boston finns ett femtontal bud av varierande svårighetsgrad, från att spela hem minst fem och upp till samtliga tretton stick, alternativt att inte ta några stick alls. Den spelare som bjudit högst enligt budtabellen blir spelförare och får vid hemgång betalt av motspelarna. Betalningen sker i form av marker och beloppets storlek är avhängigt av budets svårighetsgrad, och kan också variera efter vilken färg som varit trumf. Vid misslyckat spel blir det i stället spelföraren som får betala. (sv)
