Miscellaneous
From the game of Hazard came:
- The phrase "'at sixes and sevens". "Set upon six and seven" first appeared in Chaucer's Tales relating to betting one's entire fortune on a single throw of the dice. Over time the phrase became associated with any circumstances involving general confusion or disorder.
- The word "hazard" in its modern sense of "risk" or "danger".
