What games did the doomed nobles of the French Revolution play? Whist, a card game similar to bridge, was popular. So was faro, another card game that was like a smaller game of baccarat. As for dice, hazard was a game that evolved into our game of craps. Some games played during the French Revolution era are still popular today, such as chess and backgammon. Also, vingt-et-un--French for "twenty-one"--was the 1700s equivalent of blackjack.

Tennis was a popular sport during the French Revolution era, as was horse racing. Hunting was a favorite pastime for nobility. Billiards was also played; Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette would often play against each other. Fencing was standardized, with fencing masters all part of the French Fencing Academy. During the French Revolution, the academy was disbanded and fencing discouraged. For hot air enthusiasts, ballooning was a newfangled entertainment, with the first recorded manned flight occurring in Paris in 1783.
