What is whist?
Whist is a four -member card game based on partners, which in the 18th and 19th centuries had great popularity. The game dominated Europe and parts of America during the especially 19th century and noticed many literary references to the game in various books of that time. It is almost impossible to go through the book Jane Austen without reading parties or games that take place during Austen's stories. This means that every "trick" or rotation can win one of the players. Each trick victory is assigned a point and at the end of the game the team's highest scoring team wins.
The game rule is as follows: Partners sit together and each player is given 13 cards, with the exception of the seller. The last card in the deck is turned up and is called Trumps. This means that the cards of this suit can be played at any time and usually wins a bike or trick if no more than one trump card is played.
The game starts to the left of the seller and pokIt rises clockwise. The first player places a card that determines the suit in which the cards are played. Each following player must then lay a card of the same suit, hopefully with a higher value (ACE is high and Twos are low). If a player does not have a card of the same suit, he can dispose of another card or decide to play a trump card. The highest card in return or the highest trump card wins a bike (trick). The winner of the round will begin to start the next round.
The game usually takes place until all the cards are all cards, or sometimes until one team scored five points. At this point, the tricks are expected and the winning team was declared. In Classic Whist, three games (called rubber) were often edges in succession in front of Al was declared the winner. Betting has often occurred, although planting rules may be more difficult to follow. The game is much easier to play when it does not concern gambling.
