Manille
Manille (French pronunciation: [manij]; derived from the Spanish and Catalan manilla) is a Catalan 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.
