** Bid Whist **

Bid Whist is a popular card game played with a partner against another team of two. The game is played with a standard deck of cards (including 2 jokers).

Players are dealt a total of 12 cards. The remaining 6 cards are dealt face down into the 'Kitty'. Each player will bid starting clockwise from the dealer (dealer bids last).

The bid consists of a bid number and description. The bid number is the number of tricks (books) a player believes his partnership can achieve over 6. For example, a bid of 4 = 10 books.

The bid description indicates a bid direction (High or Low) or whether the bid is a 'No' trump. A bid direction of High (Uptown) indicates A,K,Q... are the highest value cards. A bid direction of Low (Downtown, Special) indicates A,2,3... are the highest value cards. A 'No' trump bid indicates that each suit has equal weight and the lead card can not be 'cut'. The bid direction of a 'No' bid is specified after winning the bid.

Bid numbers can range from 3 - 7. The Option screen gives the player the option of playing with a minimum of 3 or 4.

Bid descriptions have the following weights: 'No' > 'Low' > 'High'. The Option screen allows the player to play make 'Low' and 'High' equal in weight: 'No' > 'Low' = 'High'.

The highest bidder indicates a 'trump' suit or in the case of a 'No' bid indicates the direction (High/Low). The jokers become the highest value cards in the indicated 'trump' suit. Например, если бы бриллианты назывались «Трамп», самые высокие карты стоимости для «высокого» направления были бы: Большой Джокер, Маленький Джокер, А, К, ... В случае с предложением «нет», Большой Джокер и Маленький Джокер не имеют значения и должны быть отброшены как можно скорее.

The bid winner will start play as the lead player. The remaining players must play a card in the same suit as the lead card if available. If the player does not have a card in that suit they may play another suit. The highest value card in the lead suit wins the sequence unless a trump card is played in which case the highest trump card wins the sequence. The winner of the sequence will be the lead player in the following sequence.
