Brusquembille or BriscambilleTrömer, Jean Chretien (1755). ''Jean Chretien Toucement des Deutsch Franços Schrifften''. Vol. 2. expanded. Nuremberg: Raspe. pp. 285 – 286. is an historical, French, 3-card trick-and-draw game for two to five players using a 32-card piquet pack. The game has variable trumps. Side-payments are made for keeping or winning aces and tens. The Brusquembille rules published in 1718 are the earliest surviving French rules of an Ace-Ten card game. Cards have precisely the same card-point values as in a number of modern games such as Skat. Basic game mechanism When three or five play, two sevens are removed to make the number of cards divisible by the number of players. When four play, they can form two partnerships. Partners sit on the same side so that they can consult each other's hand. Each player is dealt 3 cards. The first card from the remaining stock is put face-up and crosswise under the stock. It determines the trump suit and will be the last ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Briscan
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. History Briscan is a highly elaborate expansion of Mariage (card game), Mariage, the ancestor of the Marriage family of card games.Parlett (2008), p. 265. It is also a member of the Brusquembille family, a game which it began to oust in France in the late 18th century.Parlett (1990), pp. 286/287. Its name is probably a diminutive of 'Briscambille', an old name for Brusquembille.''Le Briscan'' at ''Le Salon des Jeux'' website. The rules of Briscan are first recorded in 1752 in ''La Plus Nouvelle Académie universelle des jeux'' and indicate that Briscan evolved from a simil ...

Piquet Deck
This is a list of traditional sets of playing cards or gaming tiles such as mahjong tiles or dominoes. A typical traditional pack of playing cards consists of up to 52 regular cards, organized into four suits, and optionally some additional cards meant for playing, such as jokers or tarot trumps. The cards of each suit typically form a hierarchy of ranks. However, some traditional packs, especially from Asia, follow a different scheme. French suited packs French-suited cards are the most popular design and can be found in most countries. Historically, kings were the highest cards and aces were the lowest, and this hierarchy is sometimes still prescribed for cutting. Aces are now the most common high card in most games. In Ace–Ten card games such as Pinochle, tens have the second-highest card-point value and therefore tend to rank ''high'' between ace and king rather than in their natural position. Other common high cards are twos, threes, and jacks. Full French-suited pac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bruscambille
Jean Gracieux (1575–1634), known as (Nicolas) Deslauriers in comedy and Bruscambille in farce, was a comedian at the Hôtel de Bourgogne theatre in Paris during the early 17th century. He may have given his name to the historical French card game of Brusquembille whose rules are known from the early 18th century. Life Gracieux was born in 1575 in Champagne and died in 1634. He began in farce at the beginning of the 17th century and was renowned for his salacious prologues full of inimitable amphigouri. His works include: * ''Prologues tant sérieux que facétieux'' (1610) ; * ''Fantaisies'' (1612) ; * ''Nouvelles et Plaisantes Imaginations'' (1613) ; * ''Facétieuses Paradoxes'' (1615) ; * ''Bigarures sentencieuses'' (1622) ; * ''Bons Mots''. These various pieces were compiled in the "Œuvres de Bruscambille" edited in Paris by David Gilles in 1619. He chose the pseudonym, "Bruscambille" when performing farce, and that of "(Nicolas) Deslauriers" (or "Des Lauriers") for ...

18th-century Card Games
The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 ( MDCCI) to December 31, 1800 ( MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. During the century, slave trading and human trafficking expanded across the shores of the Atlantic, while declining in Russia, China, and Korea. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures, including the structures and beliefs that supported slavery. The Industrial Revolution began during mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, with an emphasis on directly interconnected events.

Belote
Belote () is a 32-card, trick-taking, Ace-Ten game played primarily in France and certain European countries, namely Armenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Luxembourg, Moldova, North Macedonia (mainly Bitola), Bosnia and Herzegovina and also in Saudi Arabia. It is one of the most popular card games in those countries, and the national card game of France, both casually and in gambling. It was invented around 1920 in France, and is a close relative of both Klaberjass (also known as bela) and Klaverjas. Closely related games are played throughout the world. Definitive rules of the game were first published in 1921. Within the game's terminology, ''belote'' is used to designate a pair of a King and a Queen of a trump suit, possibly yielding the game's name itself. Variations on the game include Belot in eastern Europe, Baloot in Saudi Arabia, and Pilotta in Cyprus.

Klaberjass
Klaberjass () or Bela is a trick-taking Ace-Ten card game that is most popular in German communities. In its basic form it is a 9-card trick-and-draw game for two players using a 32-card piquet pack. As in other point-trick games of the King–Queen group, players can score points for the "marriage" (''bela'') of king and queen of trumps. The distinguishing feature of Klaberjass is that the jack (''Jass'') and nine (''Manille'') of trumps are elevated to the highest ranks and highest card point scores. History and naming The game originates from the Low Countries and is recorded as early as 1730 as Klaverjassen, "a type of card game in Holland". An early form was first described in an 1821 Dutch book under a name that translates as ''klaver Jas'', ''Jas'' being Dutch for ''Jack''. Klaberjass has spawned the Jack–Nine family of card games, which consists mostly of four-player elaborations of the original game. In addition to the Dutch and Swiss national card games Klaverjas ...

Sixty-six (card Game)
Sixty-Six or 66 (german: Sechsundsechzig), sometimes known as Paderbörnern, is a fast 5- or 6-card point-trick game of the marriage type for 2–4 players, played with 24 cards. It is an Ace-Ten game where Aces are high and Tens rank second. It has been described as "one of the best two-handers ever devised". Closely related games for various numbers of players are popular all over Europe and include Austria's national card game, Schnapsen, the Czech/Slovak Mariáš, Hungarian Ulti, Finnish Marjapussi and French Bezique. The game is also similar to American Pinochle. Together with the Jack–Nine family, these form the large King–Queen family of games. History The ancestor of Sixty-Six is the German game of Mariage, which was first recorded in 1715 under the name Mariagen-Spiel "despite claims for its invention at Paderborn, Westphalia, in 1652". Although there is a commemorative plaque in Paderborn at ''Kamp 17'' stating that the "world famous game of Sixty-Six was in ...

Pinochle
Pinochle (), also called pinocle or penuchle, is a trick-taking, Ace-Ten card game typically for two to four players and played with a 48-card deck. It is derived from the card game bezique; players score points by trick-taking and also by forming combinations of cards into melds. It is thus considered part of a "trick-and-meld" category which also includes the game belote. Each hand is played in three phases: bidding, melds, and tricks. The standard game today is called "partnership auction pinochle". History Pinochle is thought to have two possible origins. One is that it is a cousin of Binokel, with both games evolving from the game of Bezique. A second alternative is that Pinochle actually developed from the Swiss and, later, South German game of Binocle or Binokel, which in turn is a descendant of Bezique. The word pinochle has several different potential derivations. It may come from the French word ''binocle'' literally meaning "two eyes", or "eyeglasses" or "binocular ...

Ace–Ten Card Games
An Ace-Ten game is a type of card game, highly popular in Europe, in which the Aces and Tens are of particularly high value. Description Many of Europe's most popular card games feature the Ace-Ten scoring system, where the cards count as Ace = 11, Ten = 10, King = 4, Queen or Ober = 3, Jack or Unter = 2. Pip cards below the Ten generally have no card point value and the pack is often shortened by removing the lower pip cards or 'non-counters'. This means that, in a typical shortened pack of between 20 and 36 cards, there are 120 card points and thus a winning total is typically 61 points. Wins are doubled for scoring three-quarters of the total points and trebled for winning every trick, a scoring system known as the Skat schedule after its "most illustrious" example, the German national game of Skat. There are 3 branches of the Ace-Ten family: * Schafkopf group. The trump suit is bolstered by the promotion of all Unters (Jacks) or all Obers (Queens) or both to be permanent ...

Briscola
Briscola (; lmo, brìscula; scn, brìscula, nap, brìscula) is one of Italy's most popular games, together with Scopa and Tressette. A little-changed descendant of Brusquembille, the ancestor of Briscan and Bezique, Briscola is a Mediterranean trick-taking, Ace-Ten card game for two to six players played with a standard Italian 40-card deck. The game can also be played with a modern Anglo-French deck, without the eight, nine and ten cards (see Portuguese variations below). With three or six players, twos are removed from the deck to ensure the number of cards in the deck is a multiple of the number of players; a single two for three players and all four twos for six players. The four- and six-player versions of the game are played as a partnership game of two teams, with players seated such that every player is adjacent to two opponents. The cards The traditional Italian-suited pack used for Briscola consists of forty cards, divided into four suits: coins (Italian: ''Denar ...
