How it plays
Belote in three steps.
Each player gets five cards from a thirty-two card deck, and one card is turned face up to offer its suit as trump.
Whoever takes trump gets the turned card and two more, everyone else gets three, and then you play eight tricks, following suit and trumping in.
The side that chose trump must outscore the other side or lose everything, and the first side to 501 points wins.
Did you know? Belote is France's national card game, played in cafes and homes across the country.
The moments you play for

Four jacks
