In Cowboy Bebop, there are three men that are seen recurrently: António,
Carlos and Jobim.  
They are most often found playing cards.

What game are they playing? I don't remember it ever being stated in the
anime. Was it ever stated elsewhere?

What game are António, Carlos and Jobim playing?


It was never revealed in the anime and it isn't said on the
[wiki](http://cowboybebop.wikia.com/wiki/Three_Old_Men) or anywhere
[else](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cowboy_Bebop_characters#Antonio.2C_Carlos.2C_and_Jobim)
of [relevance](http://pierceshane.awardspace.biz/threeoldmen.html).

This is the closest I have ever seen their [mention to a card
game](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/CowboyBebopSession3HonkyTonkWoman).

Here are all the [episodes](http://www.rfblues.net/Omake/Notice/#acj) they
have been featured in and it isn't said or shown in any. So it was never
stated and in general they mainly acted as comic relief.
