Quick Summary

Coinche is a popular four-player partnership card game that originated in France around 1920. It is a derivative of the game belote. The game is played with a 32-card deck, and the ranking of cards depends on whether they are in the trump suit or not. An auction determines which partnership will set the trump suit and aims to win a majority of points. Points are scored through captured cards in tricks and by declaring melds, which are specific combinations of cards. The game involves bidding, trick-taking, and strategic play to achieve the contract set during the auction.1
