Primero



Primero (also called primus, prime, or primiera), is a 16th-century gambling card game of which the earliest reference dates back to 1526. It has been described as "poker's mother", as it is the first confirmed version of a game directly related to modern-day poker. Primero is closely related to the game of primo visto (a.k.a. prima-vista, and various other spellings), if not the same.
