What is "piquet"?
Piquet is a two-player card game that uses a 32-card deck, which includes cards from 7 to Ace in each suit. The goal of the game is to score more points than the opponent by forming certain card combinations and winning rounds. Players are dealt a hand of cards and take turns playing cards, trying to win by playing higher cards in the suit that is led. Points are earned by forming groups of cards of the same rank or sequences of consecutive cards within the same suit. After the first round of play, players may exchange some of their cards to improve their hand. The game continues until one player reaches a set number of points, usually 100, and that player is declared the winner.
