Editing Piquet (section)

====''Pique'' and ''repique''====
If a player scores 30 points during the declaration phase prior to his opponent scoring anything, that player gains a ''repique'', which is worth an additional 60 points.  If elder scores 30 points in declarations and play combined, before younger scores any points, then elder gains a ''pique'' and scores an additional 30 points.  A player can only score either ''repique'' or ''pique'', not both.

All declaration scoring must be evaluated in the following order, after the play of the first card by elder:

# ''Carte blanche''
# Points
# Sequences
# Sets

If a player were to score more than 30 points in points and sequences before the other might score in sets, then the player would receive a ''repique''.

For example: elder has a ''quatorze'' of aces for 14 points; younger has a point of 7 and two ''quints'' for a total of 37 points.  According to the order of scoring, above, younger would receive the ''repique'' bonus.

Note that younger can never gain a ''pique'' because elder always scores one point for leading to the first trick (see below). By the end of the declaration, each player will have a pretty good idea of the other's hand (to the degree that each chooses to claim their points).

Additionally, should elder achieve "cards"—more than 6 tricks—prior to younger winning any tricks, then the 10 points for "cards" may immediately be applied to a ''pique''.  If elder subsequently wins all the tricks, elder only receives the remaining 30 of the 40 points awarded for ''capot''.  The ''capot'' does not count towards a ''pique''.

Equality has no effect on ''pique'' or ''repique''.

''Carte rouge'' is applied as soon as it occurs, and is not subject to the ordering, above; however, a common variation is that a "pique" or "repique" cannot be scored as the result of a "Carte Rouge" by the younger hand, once elder has played a first card.
