Piquet is a gamy of exchanging cards, declaring combinations, and playing tricks with the object of scoring more points than the computer adversary. Each gamy, or "partie", comprises 6 rounds. Piquet is one of the oldest scorecard games and is widely regarded to be the finest and most challenging scorecard gamy ever devised for two players.
Each round starts by the players exchanging some of their cards with fresh cards from the "talon" (the stock). The resolve phase follows during which the players undertake to out bid each other's Point (tenacious suit), Sequences (runs) and Sets (trinity or tetrad of the same gross). The winner in each category scads points for the winning resolve and any additional sequences or sets, respectively. Finally the cards are played as tricks, with points awarded for leading and capturing tricks.
The challenge of Piquet is to residual the rally, the declarations and the fob winning in orderliness to take the maximum advantage over the adversary. Special bonuses exist in both the resolve and fob phases for the artful player.
