Rules of the game. This game is invented by the French and accordingly very popular in France. The rules of the game are similar to the games: Belot and Tertz . Known for its options: in Germany it's Binoculars, and in English-speaking countries it's the Pinocle . Consider the rules of the game with the example of two players. Two cards of cards are taken, mixed together, then carefully shuffled, removed and each player is dealt 8 cards (two, three, two). The remaining deck is placed in the center of the table in a closed form. The top card of the deck opens, is placed under the deck so that it can be seen, this card is a trump card. The first move belongs to the player to the left of the handler. The player can put any of his cards, the next player clockwise should put a card of the same suit, if there is no such card, then he can put any card. Pick up the cards (bribe) the player who puts the highest card. If the players have laid out two cards of the same value and they are senior, then the player who laid this card before takes the bribe. After taking a bribe, each player draws cards from the deck to eight. The first player takes the player who walked first, then all the other players clockwise. The next move belongs to the player who took the bribe. In the event that the deck ends, the players must put the cards according to other rules: the next player after the player must put a card of the same color, if there is no such card, then he must put a trump card, if there is no trump card, he can put any card. There is one feature in the game. By one rule at once, and according to other rules after taking four bribes, before your turn the player can show a combination of cards and get points for it. The combination is shown only after the player takes a bribe, after which the player makes a move. Show combinations are allowed until the card deck is parsed. Only one combination is shown for one move. Combinations can be the following: marjazh - lady and king of the same suit except trump; Trump marjazh - the lady and the king of trump suit; Double marjazh - two ladies and two kings of one not trump suit; Double trump mariazh - two ladies and two kings of a trump suit; 4 jacks; 4 ladies; 4 kings; 4 Aces; Bezik - the Jack of Diamonds and the Queen of Spades; Double bezik - 2 jack of diamonds and two ladies of the peak; Major quint - an ace, a king, a queen, a jack, all 10 of one not trump suit; Trump major quint - ace, king, queen, jack, 10 all trumps suit; Two kozyrnye sevens. If the handler, after distributing the cards, opens the top card from the deck as a bargaining chip, and this will be the seven, he writes himself 10 points. If the player has a trump card on his hands, then he has the right to change his place beforehand with the trump card that lies under the deck, for which the player is credited with 10 points. During the game, players record, where points are recorded for bribes and for combinations of cards. The cost of cards in points: an ace - 11 points, 10 - 10 points, a king - 4 points, a lady - 3 points, a jack - 2 points, no other points for the remaining cards. That player, who will be in the hands of the trump card seven, writes himself 10 points. 10 points are written by the player who takes the last bribe. The game goes to 1000 points. The player who first scores 1000 points or more is considered the winner. If both players have 1000 points or more, then the player who wins the last trick wins. If the third bribe was taken by the third other player, then the winner of this pair is the player who took the bribe last. Below are recommendations on the strategy of the game, the cost in points for combinations of cards and penalties for violations of the rules in the game.

This game is played from 2 to 4 players. In this game there is no trump card. However, the first announced marjage gives the advantage of the suit of this brandy before other suits. The trump major can be declared not earlier than the dominant color will be determined. Kozyrnye sevens do not matter. Beziki, 4 aces, jacks, queens and kings can be announced earlier than the dominant suit is determined. The player who declared the dominant suit is given 40 points, if the marjage is double, then 50 points. Other marjages have the same value as in a simple bezique.

50 points - carte blanche: a combination of cards, which is declared a player who does not have cards with figures on his hands. He lays his cards and takes a card from the deck. If a player draws a card from a deck without a figure, he can again declare a carte blanche and record himself another 50 points. So it goes until the player draws a card with a figure.
150 points - a simple sequent: ace, 10, king, queen, jack, all cards are uncluttered.
1500 points - triple bezik: 3 ladies' peak and 3 jacks of diamonds.
4500 points - square: 4 ladies' peak and 4 jacks of diamonds.

Combination cards can be used to make similar combinations. For example, if a lady who comes in a combination of four ladies is used in the game, another lady can be added to compose another combination with four ladies. After one game stake, the player who has the most points gets 500 points and the difference between his account and the opponent's account. If the player who lost has not reached the rubicon (1000 points), then his account is reset and the winner receives an additional 1000 points plus 320 points for each ace or ten that are part of the won bribes and receives the amount of his account and the opponent's account.
