Belote

Deal cards to each player, then go through a bidding phase where players propose a trump suit based on their hand.

The trump suit is set once a player's bid goes unchallenged; play then proceeds in tricks, following suit when possible.

Trump cards beat any non-trump card, with a special ranking order for trumps that differs from the other suits.

Certain card combinations, like a run of consecutive cards in one suit, can be declared for bonus points before play begins.

Points are tallied from tricks won plus declared combinations; the partnership with more points wins the deal.

Play multiple deals to an agreed total score, commonly 501 or 1001 points.
