Whist is a trick-taking card game. Each round has 13 tricks.
Your goal is to win more tricks than the other players or,
in partnership modes, help your team win the most tricks.
Setup
A standard 52-card deck is dealt evenly. Each player receives 13 cards.
Cards rank from 2 low up to Ace high.
Turn Order
One player leads a card. The other players must follow the led suit if they can.
If they cannot follow suit, they may play any card.
Winning Tricks
The highest card in the led suit wins unless a trump card is played.
The winner of the trick leads the next trick.
Trump
Trump cards beat cards from non-trump suits. Classic Whist may use a trump suit,
while some modes use no trump or a rotating trump suit.
Modes
Classic Whist
Simple trick-taking with a trump suit.
Partnership Whist
You and AI2 play as partners against AI1 and AI3.
Solo Whist
Every player competes for themselves.
Bid Whist
A bidding-style variant where players compete to choose trump.
Quick Whist
A faster arcade version with fewer tricks.
Strategy
Remember which suits have been played.
Save high cards for important tricks.
Use trump cards carefully.
If you cannot follow suit, decide whether to discard or trump.
In partnership mode, protect your partner’s winning cards.
Examples
If hearts are led and no trump is played, the highest heart wins.
If clubs are trump, even a low club can beat a high non-trump card.
