You will be very surprised, when you discover that the games of chance appeared in the prehistoric age. That was this way.

Many years ago the Earth was settled by ancient creatures, some of them spoiled people's lives greatly. It was a horrifying night. Terrifying dinosaurs attacked the village of one boy's prehistoric tribe: they trampled the fire and killed the whole tribe. The only saved man turned out to be the boy, who had gone hunting that night. When he returned home, his grief was endless. He lost everything and most importantly the fire! He spent many days sitting near the extinct fire and mourning his relatives.

But his stomach couldn't stand the starvation and the boy felt hungry. So he went hunting in the forest. He found there a cave. It took several days for him to feel at home and to try to kindle the fire. The unhappy boy gave up all hope of eating some roasted meat and to warm near the fire. But the gods of fortune felt sorry for the boy. A tornado passed near the forest accompanied by lighting. The lightning set fire to the tree. This fact astonished the kid greatly. He took the stick and ran towards the tree. So the fire was started in the cave.

That was the beginning of happy days. Wild animals didn't disturb him, the hunting was successful and it was warm in the cave. But it was very boring for the boy to live alone. So he began thinking of an amusement. He drew on the walls, grinded some stones and once he drew animals on the pieces of needless leather. These pieces became the first cards. But there was no one around to play with the kid. You have a rare chance to play with him, but in the modern variant.

The designers of the game Prehistoric Baccarat give you this possibility. Four nice dinosaurs, palms and wild plants will astonish you with their graphics, the music and special sound effects will carry you into the past; original personages, unusual cards and bright colors will embellish the picture.
