In partnership play, all members of a team must stake out, and a player might choose to avoid staking out (becoming a Rover) in order to help a lagging teammate. The e4Hats Table Tennis club currently has a majority of Asian members in their late 40s to 60s since this sport is popular in Asia, particularly in China, Japan, and Korea. The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club still has a croquet lawn, but has not hosted any significant tournaments. By the late 1870s, however, croquet had been eclipsed by another fashionable game, lawn tennis, and many of the newly created croquet clubs, including the All England Club at Wimbledon, What is a billiards club converted some or all of their lawns into tennis courts. However, purely negative play is rarely a winning strategy; successful players (in all versions other than golf croquet) will use all four balls to set up a break for themselves, rather than simply making the game as difficult as possible for their opponents.

Dr. Johnson does not positively derive Whist from the interjectio silentium imperans; he cautiously explains Whist to be "a game at cards, requiring close attention and silence." Nares, in his Glossary, has "Whist, an interjection commanding silence;" and he adds, "That the name of the game of Whist is derived from this, is known, I presume, to all who play or do not play." He, however, in his preface, well remarks that he knows "the extreme fallaciousness of the science of etymology when based on mere similarity of sound;" but in the case of Whist, he has allowed similarity of sound to master his judgment. "The Nobles," says a French writer, ‘had gone to England to learn to Think, and they brought back the thinking game with them." Talleyrand was a Whist player, and his mot to the youngster who boasted his ignorance of the game is well known, "Vous ne savez pas donc le Whiste, jeune homme?

The English headquarters for the game is now in Cheltenham. This record is now in the Public Record Office. Hoyle’s laws, as they were called, guided all Whist coteries for a hundred and four years; when the Arlington (now Turf) and Portland Clubs, re-revised the code of the Chocolate-houses. One evening, when the Queen Dowager was playing against him with her husband and his daughter (the Queen of Westphalia, the wife of Jerome), the King stopped Napoleon, who was taking up a trick that did not belong to him, saying, "Sire, on ne joue pas ici en conquérant." After the 63 restoration, Whist was taken up in France more enthusiastically. Located in New York, it is one of the best pool halls in the United States, with 25 9 ft. Hoyle also comes in for notice in the following passage in the same work: ‘I happened to come home several hours before my usual time, when I found four gentlemen of the cloth at Whist by my fire; - and my Hoyle, sir, - my best Hoyle, which cost me a guinea, lying open on the table, with a quantity of porter spilled on one of the most material leaves of the whole book.

One costly mistake pool hall owners make is the failure to appropriately discover and understand their customer demographics. These make the game five points instead of ten, in order to revised laws (nearly all Hoyle) are given in every edition of Hoyle from this date. The principal characters are Professor Whiston 56 (Hoyle) who gives lessons in the game of Whist; Sir Calculation Puzzle, a passionate admirer of Whist, who imagines himself a good player, yet always loses; Sharpers, Pupils of the Professor, and Cocao, Master of the Chocolate-house. Teams are promoted and relegated between the lower tiers, but there is no relegation to or promotion from the MacRobertson Shield. In this version of croquet, there are nine wickets, two stakes, and up to six balls. There are 112 clubs in New Zealand, affiliated with 19 associations. The second theory is that the rules of the modern game of croquet arrived in Ireland during the 1850s, perhaps after being brought there from Brittany, where a similar game was played on the beaches. The 1997 miniseries features the use of croquet however, Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film adaptation uses a fire axe instead. Some other early modern sources refer to pall-mall being played over a large distance (as in golf); however, an image in Strutt's 1801 book shows a croquet-like ground billiards game (balls on the ground, hoop, bats, and peg) being played over a short, garden-sized distance.
