"As Nas" definition
by IranFirst on Sat Apr 03, 2010 07:04 AM PDTAn ancient Persian game that some say is an ancestor of poker.
Usage: It seems to have originated from a 16th century Persian
card game known as As Nas. This game was played with 25 cards with 5
different suits. The game played in a similar fashion to modern 5 card
stud and possessed similar poker hands rankings, such as
three-of-a-kind. When Europeans began to play the game, they called it
"poque" or "pochen." While poker's origins may lie in Europe and
Persia, it truly developed in the United States.
