BeloteCard · French tradition. A partnership with style.
A jack that rules the table. A partner who reads your play. Enter a violet and copper salon where every trump, every discard and every point has a story.
BeloteCard
Choose a legal card and discover the reason. These practice situations run here without an account. Complete matches belong to the app.
Four players sit in two opposite partnerships and play anticlockwise. Receive five cards, then pass or take the exposed suit. A second round offers the other three suits. Eight passes mean a fresh deal; a chosen contract brings everyone to eight cards.
Follow the suit led. On a trump lead, play a higher trump if you can, even when your partner is winning. Without the suit led, trump if an opponent is winning; overtrump if possible, otherwise play a lower trump. If your partner is winning, you may discard.
The king and queen of trumps give their team 20 points for belote–rebelote. BeloteCard announces them as you play the cards. This classic profile has no sequences, four-of-a-kind declarations, no-trump or all-trump contracts.
The taking team must score strictly more than the defenders, including belote. A tie fails the contract. Cards are worth 152 points and the last trick adds 10; all eight tricks make 252. Play to 1000, choose a short 501-point match or set a target from 1 to 10000.
Trumps: J · 9 · A · 10 · K · Q · 8 · 7. Other suits: A · 10 · K · Q · J · 9 · 8 · 7. The trump jack is worth 20 and the nine 14; elsewhere they are worth 2 and 0.

Move the taking team’s raw points, add a belote and compare both teams. The calculation uses this app’s exact classic rules.
Contract made
If the contract fails, defenders receive all base points; each side keeps its own belote. A tie fails with no carry-over. Scores are never rounded. A capot is 252 base points, not a bonus added to 162.

Yes, when trumps were led and you can play a higher trump. On a non-trump lead, if you cannot follow and your partner is winning, you may discard.
The contract fails unless belote makes the taking team’s total strictly higher. There are no deferred points in this profile, and a declared belote stays with its team.
Winning all eight tricks. The last trick is then worth 100 instead of 10, so the base total is 252. Any belote is counted separately.
