Consular Games: The Exciting World of 'Brag' and 'Hazard' - A Peek into Victorian-era British Leisure This print from Mary Evans Prints Online transports us back in time to the Victorian era, where we witness two popular games, 'Brag' and 'Hazard,' being played with great enthusiasm by a group of British gentlemen. 'Brag,' also known as 'Bragging,' is a simple yet engaging card game that requires a combination of strategy, bluffing, and a bit of luck. The objective is to make the highest possible hand using five cards, with the Ace being the highest card. The player with the best hand wins the round, and the game continues until one player has won all the stakes. The name 'Brag' comes from the bragging that often ensues when a player believes they have the best hand. Adjacent to the Brag table, we see another group of gentlemen engrossed in the game of 'Hazard.' This dice game, also known as 'Hazardous Games,' originated in the Middle East and was a favorite pastime among the British aristocracy. The game involves rolling three dice and betting on the outcome of the rolls. The objective is to predict which dice will land on specific numbers, and the stakes can be significantly high. The print beautifully captures the essence of Victorian-era leisure, with the gentlemen dressed in their finest attire, sipping on their drinks, and fully immersed in the games. The playful banter and competitive spirit are evident in their expressions, adding to the overall charm of the scene. This print is an excellent reminder of the rich history of card and dice games and the role they played in shaping British culture during the Victorian era. It is a must-have for anyone interested in history, social studies, or simply appreciating the intricacies of bygone eras.
