This is great. Can you please continue it?
Isn't there a Whist with trumps. I seem to remember playing [Horatio Hornblower]? (a protagonist from C. S. Forester) Whist with trumps, but maybe I'm wrong? RedMabuse
Me too! We used to play six hands, four of trumps (alternating suits), the no-trumps, the misere
The 3 player version of Whist, called "Widow" whist, is played with clubs as trump. I can document this 3 player variation if people would be interested. (BTW, I'm the original author of the 4 player write-up) -Nafai
I'd love to see the 2 handed whist rules Mr. Author!
Thank-You Nafai for the 3 player "Widow" whist rules you wrote up. I used to play this game with my grandfather and mother (both of whom have passed away). We called the game "Merry Widow". I have been searching fruitlessly for the rules in card game books and the internet until I ran across this site. I always enjoyed playing the game and can now play it with my wife and daughter. Thanks again! -DBK
Isn't Whist the card game that Phineas Fogg played in
Around the World in 80 Days by
Jules Verne? I always wondered what he was playing. Thanks for enlightening me. --

It's "Phileas" Fogg, IIRC
