TIL: Faro (/ˈfɛəroʊ/ FAIR-oh), pharaoh, pharao, or farobank is a late 17th-century French gambling game using cards. It is descended from basset, and belongs to the lansquenet and monte bank family of games due to the use of a banker and several players. Winning or losing occurs when cards turned up by the banker match those already exposed. Wiki
