  • ... that the classic French game of Nain Jaune is named after Seven of Diamonds which is depicted as a yellow dwarf on the game board (pictured)?
    Source: "Ce jeu peut occuper à la fois cinq personnes et s'appelle le Nain Jaune, qui est le nom qu'on donne au sept de carreau." (L'AVANTCOUREUR, lundi 27 octobre 1760 (n° 41) at academiedesjeux.jeuxsoc.fr) and "The True Story of the Game of "Nain Jaune"...This game was initially called "Baby Dwarf " or "Dwarf ", then it was exported to the capital where it depicted a Dwarf dressed in crazy clothes with bells or a little bald man in yellow outfit with his sword (which never left him) at his side, without any particular connexion being made with "Bebé", but definitely given the name of "Yellow Dwarf"." in Theimer, François (2006). “Nain Jaune” in l'Escale à Jeux.
