Name the card game—derived from the melding and trick-taking game bezique—in which the special 48-card deck includes two cards of each suit, but only for the 9, 10, jack, queen, king, and ace. The origin of the game’s name isn’t clear, but one theory is that it derives from a French word meaning “binoculars,” or, similarly, two Latin words meaning “double” and “eye.”
