Bezique
Bezique (in French, bézique) is a melding and trick-taking card game for two players.
It was developed in France in the seventeenth century from the game piquet and gained its greatest popularity in Britain in the mid-nineteenth century. Perhaps the most famous proponent of the game was Winston Churchill, an avid player and early expert of Six-Pack, or “Chinese,” Bezique. There is some evidence that the English writers Wilkie Collins and Christina Rossetti were also enthusiasts.
