Bezique (/bəˈziːk/) 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,[1] 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.[2]
