Jacquet is a tables game played on a backgammon-like board and which was once very popular in France and several other parts of Europe.^[1] It probably emerged around 1800, but is attested by 1827.^[2] In the 20th century it replaced the classic French backgammon equivalent — the game of Trictrac — until Jacquet itself was superseded by Anglo-American games in the 1960s.^[3]^[4]
