  Bezique - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Bezique (also called besi and besigue) is, in fact, brisque played with a double pack, and with certain modifications rendered necessary by the introduction of additional cards.
For example: the bezique queen can be declared in bezique, marriage and four queens; but having once been declared in single bezique, she cannot form part of another single bezique.
All may be declared together, or a double bezique may be added to a single one, or a third bezique may be added to a double bezique already declared.

Pinochle and Bezique is a triple-mode game which may be configured to play two-player Pinochle, Binokel, or Bezique, or even a hybrid combining any of the various melding rules.
Bezique is the older game, having originated in France where it evolved from games dating back to the sixteenth century.
Bezique reportedly evolved into the Swiss/German game of Binokel ("Binocle" in the French dialect) which then crossed the Atlantic and was popularized as Pinochle in the U.S. in the late 1800s by German immigrants.
