Crown and anchor

Common card · No. 436393

Crown and anchor is a simple dice game, traditionally played for gambling purposes by sailors in the Royal Navy as well as those in the British merchant and fishing fleets. It is typically played as a game between two parties, either between two people or a house or casino and a player. Three special dice are used in crown and anchor. The dice are equal in size and shape to standard dice, but instead of one through six pips, they are marked with six symbols: crown, anchor, diamond, spade, club and heart, the last four matching the French suits, common playing card suits in the English-speaking world.
