Bezique 1.1   
by Malcolm Bain   

A fascinating card game for two in which you play against the computer. In this version you play against Winston Churchill. It was Winston's favourite game in the early 20th century.

The original game of Bezique is the ancestor of American Pinochle, which, along with other versions such as Rubicon Bezique and Six-Pack Bezique have become more popular. However if you want a game for two people this is the best.

Using a 64-card deck consisting of two 52-card decks from which the deuces through sixes have been removed you have to try and make various combinations such as sequences, marriages of Kings and Queens and of course Bezique which is the Queen of Diamonds and the Jack of Spades.

Full instructions for playing and graphical descriptions of the combinations you can make are included.
