Chinese bezique

Chinese bezique is a trick-and-meld card game related to pinochle and sixty-six. It is an elaborate version of bezique, typically played with six standard decks of cards shuffled together, though it can also be played with four or eight decks. The game involves players melding combinations of cards for points, such as specific pairs (marriages), sequences, and the "bezique" combination (queen of spades and jack of diamonds). While bezique was popular in the 19th century, it has largely been replaced by simpler games like rummy.12
