The classic game of whist is a plain-trick game without bidding for 4 players in fixed partnerships. There are four players in two fixed partnerships. Partners sit facing each other. A standard 52 card pack is used. The cards in each suit rank from highest to lowest:
A K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2.
The player to the dealer's left leads to the first trick. Any card may be led. The other players, in clockwise order, each play a card to the trick. Players must follow suit by playing a card of the same suit as the card led if they can; a player with no card of the suit led may play any card. The trick is won by the highest trump in it - or if it contains no trump, by the highest card of the suit led. The winner of a trick leads to the next.
When all 13 tricks have been played, the side which won more tricks scores 1 point for each trick they won in excess of 6.
The partnership which first reaches 7 points wins the game.

    About every fourth or fifth hand, the trump suit fails to display, which makes the game essentially unplayable. Otherwise a good game. With that flaw fixed, I'd give it five stars.

    Sadly. What spoils it for me is the size of the cards makes it difficult to select. I don't really need to see the backs of the other 39 cards when dealt. Just had to take off a star. My partner plays like a child, throws away top cards whilst keeping bas
