Piquet is widely regarded and variously
documented as "the best game ever devised",
"the aristocrat of card games for two" and "one
of the best and most skillful card games for
two players".
Piquet is a game of exchanging cards, declaring
points, sequences and sets, and then playing
off the cards as tricks. What you exchange
will affect what you can declare, and what you
declare will provide insight to the cards you
hold and therefore affect how your opponent
plays to the tricks. Points are accumulated
for both declarations and tricks - so a
carefully balanced strategy is the key to
winning.
A Partie (or game) is comprised of six rounds,
three dealt by each player alternately. The
non-dealer exchanges one or more cards with
those that remain undealt, then the dealer
exchanges up to as many as are left. If any
cards remain untaken after the exchanges, the
dealer may elect that they be displayed face-up
for both players to see.
The declaration phase starts with the
non-dealer declaring their point - i.e, the
longest suit. The player with the better point
wins the point declaration. Then sequences
(runs of consecutive cards of the same suit)
are declared, and finally sets (cards of the
same face value). If a player wins a sequence
or set declaration, they may declare any other
sequences or sets that they hold.
After the declarations are complete, the cards
are played as tricks with points awarded for
leading and for capturing the lead.
Piquet is an excellent game for developing
general card playing skills because it includes
declaring, melding and trick playing, the three
basic elements that are found in most card
games. Also, the ability to remember which
cards have been seen and the ability to deduce
what the opponent holds are key factors to
winning.
