 Two-handed Pinochle, two-handed Bezique and two-handed Binokel are almost identical, the main difference is that the last-named is played with two packs of 24, German-suited, cards, instead of two packs of 32, French-suited, ones.The former, together with Six-Pack Bezique and Rubicon Bezique, is still played in the United States.The game achieved its greatest popularity in Paris by 1860 and in England a few years later.
