Faro
There are a number of things that you probably think about when you think of the “Wild West”: cowboys, cattle, gunfights, sheriffs, and cards. Yes, playing cards was an enormous part of that time period. Around the time of the OK Corral it was no different. In fact, men like Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp dealt a lot with card games, pun intended. You may think of poker, but the real game out in the “Wild West” was called Faro. Both Holliday and Earp dealt Faro.
