Jick Tack Jenny and the bean gun.


The card game they play before setting off.

What is it, how is it spelt, please?

reply

doesn't seem to be mentioned in wikipedia.org or Hoyle's Rules for Games.
all i could find was this entry on www.wordreference.com

"The game is more often known as Jick, Jack, Ginny and the Bean Gun but
there's very little online about it. It's mentioned in The Hollywood
Posse: The Story of a Gallant Band of Horsemen Who Made Movie History by
Diana Serra Cary. The print edition can be bought from Amazon."

Thanks.

In some Euchre derivatives (e.g.: "Smear," "Pitch"), the left bower is occasionally referred to as the "jick jack."
