Brusquembille, also spelled Briscambille, is a historical French trick-and-draw card game for two to five players using a 32-card piquet pack. Each player is dealt three cards and the turned-up card under the stock fixes the trump suit. Players need not follow suit, and the winner of each trick draws from the stock first. Card points decide the deal, with aces and tens, the brusquembilles, making up over two thirds of them, and side payments in chips are made for winning or losing an ace or ten in a trick. Its rules were published in 1718 and are the earliest surviving French rules of an ace-ten game. It is the earliest known member of the family that later produced Skat, Pinochle, Sixty-six, Klaberjass and Belote.
