The following is the description in Cotton's 1674 rules:
There may as many play at this Game as the Cards will allow of, five Cards are dealt to every Player. The Queen of Diamonds is Queen Nazareen, and he that hath it, demands three apiece of every Player. The Knave of Clubs is called Knave Knocher, and he that hath it challengeth two apiece. If women play among men it is customary for Knave Knocher to kiss Queen Nazareen. Lastly, he that lays down a King the last Card that is plaid challengeth one, and begins again; and he that hath first plaid away his Cards demands as many Counters as there are Cards in the hands of the rest.
