Games

Build melds, win tricks, race to 1000.

Classic French card game for 2 players. Build strategic melds, win tricks, and race to 1000 points. Play offline vs AI, online via Game Center, or locally over Wi‑Fi.

Authentic classic gameplay

Experience the timeless elegance of Bezique, the sophisticated French card game that captivated European aristocracy in the 19th century. This implementation follows the classic two-deck rules with authentic French-style cards, clear scoring, and table layouts designed specifically for touch.

Each round begins with 8 cards dealt to each player from a shared stock. Win tricks to control the flow of the game, declare powerful melds, and race to be the first to reach 1000 points. Every decision matters as you balance winning tricks, building melds, and managing your tableau of face-up cards.

Strategic depth

Bezique offers rich tactical gameplay with multiple paths to victory. Declare marriages for quick points, build toward the legendary Double Bezique worth huge bonuses, or assemble four of a kind. Master the timing of when to play your cards versus saving them for melds. The Dix (seven of trumps) adds another layer with opportunities to exchange it for the turned‑up trump card at just the right moment.

Score big with melds

Learn and master the core melds that define Bezique:

  • Marriages: King and Queen of the same suit, with extra value in trumps.
  • Bezique: The classic Queen of Spades and Jack of Diamonds combination.
  • Double Bezique: Two Beziques at once — a dramatic swing worth a massive score.
  • Four of a kind: Aces, tens, kings, queens, or jacks scored for big points.
