Whist is a classic English trick-taking card game which was widely played in the 18th and 19th centuries.[1][2] Although the rules are extremely simple, there is enormous scope for scientific play.[3] History[edit] Whist is a descendant of the 16th century game of trump or ruff.
Whist replaced the popular variant of trump known as Ruff and Honours.[4][5] The game takes its name from the 17th Century whist (or wist) meaning quiet, silent, attentive, which is the root of the modern wistful.[6] According to Barrington, Whist was first played on scientific principles by a party of gentlemen who frequented the Crown Coffee House in Bedford Row, London, around 1728. Edmond Hoyle, suspected to be a member of this group, began to tutor wealthy young gentlemen in the game and published A Short Treatise on the Game of Whist in 1742.
In the 1890s, a variant known as Bridge Whist became popular which eventually evolved into Contract Bridge. Bid whist. The game[edit] The general play of bid whist is similar to that of whist, with four notable exceptions.
In whist, the trump suit for a given hand is determined at random by the last card dealt, whereas in bid whist, the trump suit (or whether there will even be a trump suit) for a given hand is determined by the outcome of the bidding process. Secondly, whether a trick is won by the higher-ranking card of the winning suit, or by the lower-ranking card of that suit is also determined by the outcome of the bidding process. Thirdly, whether the ace is the highest-ranking card of the suit or the lowest-ranking card can change from hand to hand, depending on whether higher-ranking cards or lower-ranking cards win in that hand.
And lastly, the scoring of the game is handled differently. Kitty[edit] Bidding process[edit] In bid whist, after all of the cards have been dealt, but prior to the beginning of game play, each player may submit a bid.
