The 7s have no special role. Bezique combinations are scored with four additions: triple bezique points ; quadruple bezique points ; sequence in a plain suit points ; and carte blanche picking up a hand without court cards: 50 points.
A player claiming carte blanche scores a further 50 points every time a card is drawn from stock until a court is drawn. Unlike in Bezique, identical combinations can be reformed provided that at least one card has been played to trick. The last trick of the game is worth 50 points, but brisques are not scored except to break a tie. If the loser fails to reach points the rubicon the winner scores the two totals added together and the bonus for the game is doubled.
