Coinche (French pronunciation: [kwɛ̃ʃ]), also called belote coinchée (IPA: [bəlɔt kwɛ̃ʃe]), is a variant of the French belote. The rules of the game are the same, but there are differences in how cards are dealt and how trumps are chosen.

Like most popular games, coinche rules may differ from a geographic area to another.
