Piquet

Deal twelve cards to each player and set the remaining eight cards aside as the talon.

Each player may exchange up to five cards from their hand for replacements drawn from the talon to improve their combinations.

Players compare and score combinations in turn: the longest suit sequence, the best set of three or four of a kind, and the highest card point total.

After declaring combinations, players lead cards one at a time, each trying to win tricks by playing higher cards or following suit.

Points are tallied from combinations, tricks won, and bonus points for winning all or most of the tricks, and the first player to reach the target score across several hands wins.
