PRIMERO (Span. first) , a card
game
  of
Spanish
  origin, which
Strutt
  calls " the

England

close
  resmblance to
Ombre
  (q.v.), by which it had been superseded. In both
games
  the spadillo or ace of spades was the best card, but Primero was played with six
cards
  and
Ombre
  with nine. The exact method of
play
  is uncertain.
