About the event
According to Hoyle Day began as a tribute to Edmond Hoyle, a British writer born in 1672 who became an authority on card games. Hoyle�??s most notable work was on the game of whist, where he outlined precise rules that became widely accepted.
Over time, his name became synonymous with strict adherence to the rules in various games, leading to the popular phrase �??according to Hoyle,�?� meaning to follow the rules exactly.
The day was first celebrated in 2011, and it was introduced by card game enthusiasts who wanted to honor Hoyle�??s lasting impact on gaming culture.
