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.

The gameplay is generally good, but a few times I have seen two players play the same card (usually nine of clubs) and there is often a no trumps hand which, under my understanding, don't form part of the game of whist traditionally. The partners play unr

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.
