Kvitlech, also spelled Kvitlach or Quitlok, (Yiddish: קווטלך, literally "notes", "slips") is a game similar to blackjack played in some Jewish homes during the Hanukkah season. Hanukkah card playing was a traditional cover for Torah study, which had been outlawed for Jews by a Syrian-Greek king in the second century BCE. The original kvitlech deck consisted of thirty-one numbered cards, artistically colored, representing the thirty-one kings against whom the Israelites fought under Joshua, a Biblical prelude to the Maccabean victory.
