| | Whist is one of the original classic card games; it predates such old favorites as bridge, spades, and hearts. | | | Like bridge, bid whist involves a series of hands in which two pairs of partners bid and play their cards; partnerships earn points when they take enough tricks to fulfill their bids and lose points when they fail. | | | For example, in the olden whist days of our great-grandfathers, some player somewhere disliked having to turn his last card as dealer in order to determine trump-perhaps after it turned out to be his only card in the suit, even as he held seven top cards of another suit! |
