Wikipedia
Belote

Belote is a 32-card trick-taking game played in France, and is one of the most popular card games in that country. It was invented around 1920, and is a loose relative of both Klaberjass (also known as Bela) and Klaverjas. Closely related games are played throughout the world, and its rules first published in 1921.

Within the game's terminology, belote is used to designate a pair of a King and a Queen of a trump suit, possibly yielding the game's name itself.

Variations on the game include Baloot in Saudi Arabia, and Pilotta in Cyprus.
