Manille

Manille (; derived from the Spanish and Catalan Malilla) is a French trick-taking card game which uses a 32 card deck. It spread to the rest of France in the early 20th century, but was subsequently checked and reversed by the expansion of Belote. It is still popular in France (primarily the north and south-west) and the western part of Belgium.

The game is played with a 32-card piquet deck. It is usually played by four players in two partnerships, but variants with just two players also exist.
