A card game popular in parts of Europe, particularly in Spain and Portugal, played with a special deck of cards.
Possibly derived from Spanish or Portuguese card game terminology, though the exact origin is uncertain. May relate to 'jaca' (a type of horse) or be a corruption of another card game name.
Canjac is one of those card games that shows up rarely in English texts but thrived in communities where it was played for centuries—it's a reminder that thousands of games, languages, and traditions have vanished from common knowledge.
