Default Bonaparte even ushered into the world of card games.

Rules of Card Games: Nap

A card game similar to bridge is Napoleon or Nap for short. There is also a game called Napoleon which is quite popular in Japan but is quite different from the card game played in parts of England and Scotland and elsewhere in the UK. There is a kitty to be won in this game and a number of people can attend. Napoleon himself would probably be sickened by the higher bid of Wellington which is part of this game. It seems that Napoleon's Waterloo has ushered in all kinds of cultural references from many different periods as well as geographic regions.
