Best Answer

Sailors in the 1780s most likely did play card games.

It is known that, in 1492, Columbus's crew played cards during their voyage to America, so sailors have a long link with card games.

The card games may have been different to those commonly played today. While the four suits of hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs first appeared in France in the 1500s, double-headed cards were only used for the first time in 1813.
