79/100

Bezique brings a classic, somewhat forgotten card game to the digital age with class and clarity. For those unfamiliar, Bezique is a trick-taking game that predates many modern classics, and this app does a fantastic job of teaching the nuances of 'melds' and 'declarations.'

The AI is surprisingly competent, offering a genuine challenge even for seasoned players. The interface is clean, reminiscent of a high-end parlor, and doesn't clutter the screen with unnecessary animations. It’s a refined experience for card game enthusiasts who want something a bit more sophisticated than standard Solitaire.

Bezique is a 19th-century card game for two players, using a 64-card deck (two decks of 32). This app brings the classic game to life with elegant visuals and a smart AI opponent. Learn how to form combinations (melds) like the eponymous Bezique (Queen of Spades and Jack of Diamonds) to score points. The first player to reach the target score wins. Perfect for fans of Pinochle and Belote.

The Play Phases

Gameplay consists of two phases: the first phase where players can meld and draw new cards, and the second phase (when the stock is empty) where standard trick-taking rules apply and players must follow suit.
