- Wilbur Hinman wrote in his book ‘Corporal Si Klegg and His Pard’ about how after a few months of service half the ponchos had the “necessary squares and figures for chuck-a-luck” and other games of chance drawn on them. In this episode of the Civil War Digital Digest, we learn how to play chuck-a-luck, the gambling game so popular with soldiers that Hinman mentions it. It is very easy to set up and to play. This is a great way to explore one aspect of their life, especially those soldiers that enjoy the vice of gambling!

Its called sweat because the numbers were drawn on a rag, a sweat rag, and when an officer came the wise guy folded it up, wiped his brow and tucked it safely away out of sight while tossing the dice. You could be flogged for gambling in that army.
Thank you for correcting him - your answer is accurate. Interesting that he knew it was called Sweat, but didn't know why.
I played the game once at an event, I won a few times, you know how the rest of the story goes, but I liked playing it!
Now I finally know how to play what Shorty was always losing his pay to! Thank you for yet another great episode, gentlemen.
+Robert Milton thank you for watching!
I'm gonna integrate this into our reenactor camp :)
Fantastic!
Love this one! Fast, snappy, fun. Great job, Jeremy!
Jeremy, I was wondering where I can find an authentic chuck a luck board or where I can get information on making one with period correct materials, paint, etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to purchase one too
great video, can you maybe do a video on camp tents or furniture?
What kind of dice would have been used in the Civil War era? Where could a soldier get some?
They were commercially available. Purchase from the sutler. Some were carved on site and others made from bullets but those are way over represented in my mind.
I have looked all over for a chuck a luck board. Can you tell me what yours is made of and I am thinking the numbers are painted on. If so What paint did you use?
+Jason Brown it is painted heavy cloth. I did not make it and purchased it second hand many years ago. - Jeremy
Thanks

Wonderful and informative video. May I ask where you got or how you made the money?
+Timothy Lavender various sources over many years!
As always nice video, where did you find the chuck-a-luck gum blanket
+CW cadet it was purchased years ago used off a forum.
Is there any more rules for this game.
I've played it a few times as the bank and I got cleared out , lol
If one guy keeps more than a dollar of his money on a number in a short he wins everything
Who made the game board?
It is Jeremy’s and he doesn’t remember. Sad to say.
Where did you get the reproduction greenbacks?
They were part of a pay scenario we attended a few years back. Will
Anyone here to discuss even money betting strategy (sicbo/chuck-a-luck/roulette)?
