Poker
Soon after this spread, the full 52-card English deck was used, and the flush was introduced.  During the American Civil War, many additions were made, including draw poker, stud poker (the five-card variant), and the straight.  Further American developments followed, such as the wild card (around 1875), lowball and split-pot poker (around 1900), and community card poker games (around 1925).  Spread of the game to other countries, particularly in Asia, is often attributed to the U.S. military.
