If the card he asks for be given him, he may go on asking from the same person or from any one else; but should he be refused, it is the turn of the person who refused to ask.
It is a rule that no one shall ask for a card unless he be already supplied with one card, at any rate, of the same suit, and every one also is bound to produce the card asked for if he can do so.
When the different members of the families are gathered together and united, the player who has taken the greatest number of tricks wins the pool.

Before describing the game of Bézique, which, under the name of Penuchle, is greatly in favour among the Germans, it will perhaps be advisable to give a list of the technical terms employed in it.
Single Bézique.—The queen of spades and knave of diamonds, which count 40.
Double Bézique.—Two queens of spades and two knaves of diamonds, which count 500.
Brisques.—The aces and tens in the tricks taken count 10 each.
Common Marriage.—The king and queen of any suit but trumps, which count 20.
