The classic Chicago game was allegedly invented in an underground poker club at Hammarbykajen, Stockholm in Sweden owned by the Russian mafia. The game is a variation of the Swedish card game, Fem-kort. The poker-related card game called Chicago is one of the most popular card games in Finland today.
Relying on the keeping of score instead of the placing of bets, it is suitable even for environments such as schools, where gambling is often prohibited.
