I will try to list all those I have collected, and would be interested in comments and in further reports of places where Crash is played and the versions in use.
There are numerous variations in the rules. It is played over a large part of the north of England and in Wales - I have reports ranging from Coventry and Burton-on-Trent in the south to Cumbria and Yorkshire in the north, from Welshpool and from South Wales also one report from Plymouth and one from Edinburgh, where the game was known as Crackers. The game of Crash is also known as Thirteen Card Brag. I am grateful to the many people who have contributed information about Crash, including: Bob Allison, David Calvert, Matt Daligan, Ben Hall, David Jennings, Robert Jones, Stephen Lowry, Allister Paterson, Peter Rollinson, Tom Valentine and Stephen Williams. They are usually played for a small amount of money, and there is no process of betting to raise the stake. Unlike Three Card Brag, on which the hand patterns are based, Crash and the other games on this page are not high stake gambling games. A point is scored by the winner of each three-card hand, and the first to an agreed target score wins the game. The games described on this page involve dividing your hand into a number of 'Brag' hands of three cards, so that as many as possible of them will beat the corresponding three-card hands of your opponents.
