A Brief History of Old West Pharo Cards:

Pharo, also known as Faro, was the most popular card game in the American West from the late 18th to the early 20th century. The game was a favorite among cowboys, gamblers, and lawmen alike, often featured in the saloons of every wild west town. These cards were distinguished by their square corners, which differed from the rounded corners we are familiar with today. As the game of choice during a time when poker was still gaining popularity, Pharo played a significant role in the gambling culture of the Old West.
