Who is "Hoyle"?
According to "Hoyle" originally referred to Edmond Hoyle (1672-1769), the English barrister and writer, who was the author of several works on card-games. He was, and still is, cited as the final authority when disputes on the rules of card games arose. Edmond was so highly regarded that numerous writers used his name on their own rule books, even for games that had not been invented by the time of Hoyle's death, so that his name became synonymous with any rules.
