Marjolet (French pronunciation: [maʁʒɔlɛ]) is a French 6-card trick-and-draw game for two players using a 32-card piquet pack. It is of the Queen-Jack type, and thus a relative of Bezique and Pinochle, albeit simpler. The trump Jack is called the Marjolet from which the name of the game derives.
The French game is played as follows: Two players use a 32-card pack. A game is won when one player reaches 12 points, which may require several rounds. A rubber is the best of three games. Players deal in turn with the first dealer being chosen by any agreed upon means. Each round, players are dealt 3 cards one at a time.
The game is played with a French-suited Piquet pack of 32 cards ranking: R D V A 10 9 8 7, where R is the King (Roi), D the Queen (Dame) and V the Jack (Valet). If 2 or 3 play, the Sevens are stripped out to leave 28 cards; if 4 or 5 play the full pack is used. The suits rank in the order: Diamonds, Hearts, Spades, Clubs.
Full 32 card deck is used. It is played by dealing first three cards to each player then another two. After that and before the bidding additional 4 cards for each player are placed face-down on the table, and on top of them 4 cards placed face-up. The dealing of these cards is similar to Poker (one card is dealt at a time to each player).
Chouine is a very old French card game of the ace–ten family for two players that is still played today in the Loire Valley, especially in north Touraine. It is a point-trick game that uses a piquet pack of 32 cards. It appears to be a variant of Brisque or Briscan. The game has regained local popularity in recent decades.
Briscan is an 18th-century, French ace–ten card game for two players played with a 32-card piquet pack.It is a member of the marriage group of games in which the 'marriage' of a king and queen brings a bonus score, but briscan takes this simple concept to extraordinary lengths.
The non-dealer leads any card from hand and the dealer may then play any card. The normal requirement to follow suit if possible does not apply to bezique. If a second player chooses to play a higher card of the same suit or any trump, that player wins the trick. If the two cards of the same rank are played, the trick belongs to the first player.
Brisque was probably derived from Brusquembille [1] which, in turn, stemmed from Mariage, the progenitor of the Marriage family of card games. [2] The earliest rules for Brisque appear in a 1752 French-Latin dictionary which suggest it is an earlier and simpler version of Briscan, a highly elaborate game with a much larger range of declarations.
