vi. In the last eight tricks the player is obliged to follow suit, and he must win the trick if possible, either by playing a higher card, or, if he has not a card of the same suit, by playing a trump. vii. A player who revokes in the last eight tricks, or omits to take when he can, forfeits the eight tricks to his opponent. viii. The last trick is the thirty-second, for which the winner scores ten. The game may be varied by making the last trick the twenty-fourth--the next before the last eight tricks. It is an unimportant point, but one that should be agreed upon before the game is commenced. ix. After the last eight tricks are played, each player examines his cards, and for each ace and ten that he holds he scores ten. x. The non-dealer scores aces and tens first; and in case of a tie, the player scoring the highest number of points, less the aces and tens in the last deal, wins the game. If still a tie, the taker of the last trick wins. xi. All cards played in error are liable to be called for as "faced" cards at any period of the game, except during the last eight tricks. xii. In counting forfeits a player may either add the points to his own score or deduct them from the score of his opponent. 124. Terms used in Bezique. i. _A Declaration_ is the exhibition on the table of any cards or combination of, cards, as follows: ii. _Bezique_ is the queen of spades and knave of diamonds, for which the holder scores 40 points. A variation provides that when the trump is either spades or diamonds, Bezique may be queen of clubs and knave of hearts. Bezique having been declared, may be again used to form Double Bezique--two queens of spades and two knaves of diamonds. All four cards must be visible on the table together--500 points. iii. _Sequence_ is ace, ten, king, queen, and knave of trumps--250 points. iv. _Royal Marriage_ is the king and queen of trumps--40 points. v. _Common Marriage_ is the king and queen of any suit, except trumps--20 points. vi. _Four aces_ are the aces of any suits--100 points. vii. _Four kings_ are the kings of any suits--80 points. viii. _Four Queens_ are the queens of any suits--60 points. ix. _Four knaves_ are the knaves of any suits--40 points.
