The game is played with a deck of cards and the goal is to achieve a score as close to 9 as possible. It dates from at least the late Ming dynasty (c. 1580–1600), but has spread to many countries, with one route in particular originating in Japan, passing down through the Malay Archipelago, and arriving in Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory of Australia. The most widespread version of the game today is that derived in Europe and known as Baccarat.
