It is not difficult, learned by six year olds and older.Besique is a Persian word meaning 'choices' and indeed, your choice of what you discard, conceal and declare makes for a most interesting and challenging game. It is based on the French court of Louis IV with Royal and Common marriages, and Besique , the Jack of Diamonds and the Queen of Spades relates to an 'affair' at court. Double Besique constitutes five hundred points, the highest number of points one can score in a hand. If a person were to make Besique playable online it would take off. My father taught me sixty years ago when I was six and I have been enjoying it ever since!
