Summary

Analyze keywords

Whist is a simple trick taking game, played in pairs. The players sitting across from each other are a team and together they try to get as many tricks as possible.

Dealing and starting

Each player gets dealt 13 cards. The first player to start is chosen randomly, in the next round the person to start will be the next person to the left of the person who started the current round. (1 round is 13 tricks, i.e. starting a new round is when all the cards are finished and are dealt again).

Trumps

In each round there is a special trump suit, whose cards are considered higher than all the other suits. Every fifth round there is no trump. The order of trumps goes: Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs, No Trump.

Playing

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.

No worse than the other versions I've played. But it would be a lot more fun if the computer players had any card sense.

Lousiest implementation ever.

Micha Shepher, 2014-07-04

A couple of terrible game play flaws by the computer players really ruin this game. 1. When the opponents are out of trump and your partner is not, the computer players continue to lead trump which sucks out their partner's trump. NOBODY who has a brain cell does that. 2. When you KNOW there is an ace out there, you DO NOT LEAD THE KING. Only an IDIOT does that. Both this game and the Euchre game published by the same author seem to have the same algorithm: Lead the highest card in your hand, even if there are higher cards out there. It's just a dumb algorithm. Instead, you lead a low card to get rid of the cards higher than yours and make your high cards good.
