Piquesept appears in several publications in 1798, its rules being recorded that same year by Cäsar and ascribed to a certain "Herr LE Kehr".

[1][2][3] Identical reprints of the rules, published in Berlin and Vienna, followed in the years to 1840.

If three play, two Eights are removed – these must not include the ♠8 – and ten cards are dealt to each player.

The side suits rank in natural order but with the Seven as the lowest card in each case.

Piquesept is an ace–ten game with the normal card values: Ace - 11, Ten - 10, King - 4, Queen 3 and Jack - 2.
