Belote is a 32-card trick-taking game for four players in two partnerships, partners sitting opposite. One player takes the turned-up card's suit as trump, and their side must then win at least as many of the 162 points as their opponents. In trump the Jack is worth 20 and the 9 is worth 14 — together 34 of the 82 you need, which is why no experienced player takes without one of them.
