Pope Joan (uncountable)

(card games) A card game played on a round board with compartments.
- 1863, Sheridan Le Fanu, The House by the Churchyard:
  He could sing, and talk, and drink, and keep things stirring, and the gentlemen liked him; and he was, 'twas said, a wonderful fine player at whist, and piquet, and ombre, and all sorts of card-playing. So you see he could afford to play fair. The first time he came down, he fought three duels about a tipsy quarrel over a pool of Pope Joan.
