<br> The word "Fan Tan" was a term I'd never heard of before. I went to Google and typed in the term into the search box and got a few results. There were a few sites with pictures of what it looked like, but there was nothing other than that. It was odd that there wasn't much information on the subject. I decided to go deeper into the origin of the term so I could know more about the meaning behind it.<br><br> <br><br><br><br> <br><br>According to the etymology Dictionary, the term's origin is "a streak or tan of dark brown." This suggests that the word originated from the game of gambling played by Egyptians. If you take a look back at the past, you'll find that the Egyptians used the identical Fan Tan formula we do to play the game. It is likely that you know that brown and black are considered to be lucky colours for players of the game. If you violate this rule, or simply ignoring this rule can cause you to lose the game.<br><br> <
