Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOUILLOTTE , a
French
 
game
  of
cards
 , very popular during the Revolution, and again for some years from 1830. Five, four or three persons may play; a piquet
pack
  is used, from which, in
case
  five play, the sevens, when four the knaves, and when three the queens also, are omitted. Counters or chips, as in poker, are used. Before the deal each player " antes " one
counter
 , after which each, the " age " passing, may " raise " the pot; those not " seeing the raise " being obliged to drop out. Three
cards
  are dealt to each player, and a thirteenth, called the retourne, when four play, turned up. Each player must then bet,
call
 , raise or drop out. When a
call
  is made the hands are shown and the best hand wins. The hands rank as follows: brelan carre, four of a
kind
 , one being the retourne; simple brelan, three of a
kind
 , ace being high; brelan favori, three of a kind, one being the retourne. When no player holds a brelan the hand holding the greatest number of pips wins, ace counting 11, and
court
  cards io.
