Crown & Anchor | Old British Navy gambling game

Crown & Anchor is a simple gambling game using three dice and a custom board. It was a favorite of the 18th century British Navy. It spread far and wide, due in part to the fact that anyone—literate or not—could easily learn the game.

I do look up pronunciations, and I try to get my American mouth to make the right noises. But at the end of the day, I’m just a small-town guy who’s doing his best. Also, I am not a professional game scholar, just an enthusiastic amateur. This means my work may be incomplete, biased and, (I hope only rarely) outright wrong. I work hard to use reliable sources, double-check for accuracy, and draw reasonable conclusions. However, the scholarship surrounding ancient games is constantly growing and evolving; as a part-time game researcher and YouTube content creator, I am not always up to date on the most recent findings. If I present anything that is demonstrably incorrect, please call me out so I may increase my personal knowledge and understanding of this fascinating subject. Reach me at [email protected].
