     No sedentary game is more popular, or so generally played for amusement in domestic circles, throughout the wide spread “eminent demesne” of the United States, as Euchre—the Queen of all card-games; and but few, we regret to say it, possess less printed authoritative reference for consultation.

     The ironist will descend in a moment from a discussion of religion to a squabble over a card-game, and he will defend himself with the reflection that religion is, after all, a human thing, and must be discussed in the light of every-day living; and that the card-game is an integral part of life, reveals the personalities of the players, — and his own to himself, — and, being worthy of his interest, is worthy of his enthusiasm.

   • 1952, H[arold] J[ames] R[uthven] Murray, “The Distribution and Origin of Board-Games”, in A History of Board-Games Other Than Chess, Oxford, Oxfordshire: At the Clarendon Press, →OCLC, page 236:

     There are many kinds of games, but the most important are the athletic games in which the players exercise their physical powers which I have briefly dealt with above, and the sedentary games, board-games, card-games, dominoes, &c., in which the players exercise their mental powers.
