Bezique

Bezique (/bəˈzk/) or bésigue (French: [beziɡ]) is a 19th-century French melding and trick-taking card game for two players that came to Britain and is still played today. The game is derived from piquet, possibly via marriage (sixty-six) and briscan, with additional scoring features, notably the peculiar liaison of the Q and J that is also a feature of pinochle, Binokel, and similarly named games that vary by country.
