.. he played acey-trays with xxx (person).

Похоже это нарды, не карты точно:

БЭКГАММОН (Backgammon) также Триктрак или Короткие нарды – прародитель всех игр на доске с дорожками и, вероятно, самая старинная игра с костями из всех, в которые играют и теперь.

Единичка-двоечка ЕДИНИЧКА-ДВОЕЧКА (Acey-Deucey) – вариант БЭКГАММОНА, любимый военными и торговыми моржами и морской пехотой США. Правила те же, что и в обычном БЭКГАММОНЕ, но шашки не расставляются на доске до начала игры, а вводятся на доску в ходе игры, а когда выпадает 1-2, игрок двигает одну шашку на три линии или одну шашку на одну линию, а другую – на две, затем он имеет право на дополнительный бросок костей.

Похоже, что так называется и место на игровом поле (во всяком случае это не название игры):

the four *Ace trays* at the bottom
left of the screen are reserved
for Aces and then must be built
up in ascending order in the
same suit.
• seven stacks of cards cascade
from the top. Cards must be
placed in these stacks in descending numerical order and alternating colors.
The object is to reveal all the hidden cards in the deck and stacks. You win when no cards
are left in the unplayed deck and the stacks.
Place the turned card from the deck to either one of the one of the seven row stacks or
four suit stacks. If you can’t place the dealt card touch the deck for the next card. Aces move
to the Ace tray automatically. Touching a card in the *ace tray* will automatically pull the next
card into the *ace tray* if possible.

Notes to answerer

Asker: у меня есть Лингво. спасибо. Мне "один-два" (и "один-три", как-то ничего не говорят.. Триктрак тот же - это кости или карты? И в Лингво "один-два", но не "один-три" :-)) "Три карты"? (как в "Пиковой даме"?

Asker: Спасибо, Замира! Кости.. и вот про морскую пехоту в вашей сноске - это "горячо".
