A mystical story, after reading which, according to Pushkin's own recollections, gamblers immediately rushed to bet on three ominous cards in the hope of hitting the jackpot. The story that gave birth to a whole tradition of texts about life as a game and still does not leave the theater stage.

The young military engineer Hermann never picked up cards, although the game always attracted him: the risk of losing everything in the illusory hope of getting rich is too great... Until he heard the story of an old countess who knows three cards that promise a sure win. And now he is ready to do anything, just to find them out... not suspecting what price he will have to pay for unfair play.
