Bezique Variations
This page is part of the Invented Games section of pagat.com. It is a collection of variations of the traditional card game Bezique.
Llechfan Bezique / Marjolet
Contributed by Mal Jones .
In this Bezique variation, three additional combinations are scored. These are borrowed from the French game Marjolet.
- trump jack and trump queen: 40 points
- trump jack and non-trump queen: 20 points
- non-trump sequence (ATKQJ): 100 points
The non-trump sequence belongs to the sequences and marriages category, and after it has been scored the king and queen in it cannot be used for a marriage.
The jack-queen combinations form a new category. The same trump jack cannot be successively combined with more than one queen, nor the same queen with both trump jacks, but either card can be reused in a marriage, sequence or bezique.
