Bid whist online games

Every fifth round there is no trump. A player leading a trick can put out a card in any suit he wants, even the trump suit. The players that follow must put out cards in the same suit if they have at least one. If they have no cards in the same suit they may put out any card they want. The player who puts out the highest card in the suit takes the trick, unless someone has put out a trump card, in which case the highest trump card takes it.

The player who takes the trick will then lead in the next trick. After a round is finished the score is calculated. The tricks of each team are counted, and they get a point for each trick over 6 tricks. Points are tracked between rounds and the first team to get 7 points wins the entire game. Since there are 13 tricks in each round and you get points for number of tricks above 6 that means that if you get all 13 tricks you will be able to win in one round. This online version of Whist was made by me.

My name is Einar Egilsson and over there on the left is my current Facebook profile picture! When I was about 12 we used to have Whist nights at my school. I always liked the game but hadn't played it in years. Then, after I created Spades I remembered Whist and decided to make it as well.

After all, it's basically just Spades with variable trumps. All the graphics used for the game I found at OpenClipArt , a great site with free graphics. The excellent playing card images were made by Nicu Buculei , and the player images were made by Gerald G.

Whist Online, Your Way Let the fun and competition begin. At times when it does this and as may come up but when you watch it and click continue to game, it is still frozen and you have to force close the game which causes you to lose.

Another time I notice it freezes is when you are clearly winning and there seems to be a glitch where it allows the other person to receive several books back to back unless you play the opposite of what you selected ex: play uptown when you selected downtown.

When enabled, 2 Jokers are added to the deck. When there is a trump suit, Jokers are wild. When a no Trump suit is played, Jokers have no value. They neither add nor take away from the game. Players are dealt 12 cards each and the remainder forms the kitty.

Each player can declare their bid for the round, consisting of the number of tricks over 6 they intend to win between 3 and 7 and one of three options: downtown, uptown and no trump.

Bid Whist can be played with or without jokers. When played with jokers, little joker black and big joker red are the highest trump cards during uptown or downtown rounds but have no value can't win a trick in no trump rounds.

Each player must bid higher than the previous player, or pass. No trump bids are considered higher than other bids of the same numerical value. If all other players pass, the last player must bid. At the start of play, the winning bidder must name the trump suit or in the case of no trump, either uptown or downtown.

They also pick up the kitty and must then discard an equal number of cards which can include cards just picked up. These discarded cards count as the first trick won for the bidder's team. They also play the first card. Other players must follow suit, if able.

If the bidding team meets their bid, they score points equal to their bid. If they did not, their bid is subtracted from their overall score. The opposing team cannot score points. Trick Taking games center around having the highest ranked card in a draw. Typically, players of trick taking games sit in a circle, sometimes in teams and sometimes playing solo, and are dealt a hand of cards. Given the specific game's card ranking and trump - special suit that beats other suits , players draw a card from their hand in hopes that it outranks the other cards played.

The player who outranks the others wins the trick for that round and gameplay is repeated until the cards are exhausted. Typically the player or team with the most tricks wins the game. In a trick, each player plays a single card.

One player is selected to start, then play proceeds clockwise around the table. If possible, players must play a card which is the same suit as the first card played - this is called 'following suit'.

If a player cannot follow suit, then they may play any card in their hand. Based on the cards played, one player is declared the winner of the trick, usually for playing the highest value card of the trump suit, or of the suit of the card which started the trick.
