Whist

4 jogadores em 2 parcerias

• Whist is traditionally played with a standard 52-card deck.
• Players form two partnerships, with partners sitting opposite each other to facilitate communication.
• Determine the first dealer randomly. Subsequently, the deal passes to the left after each hand.
• The dealer shuffles the deck thoroughly and offers it to the player on their right to cut, ensuring fairness.

Baralho padrão de 52 cartas

• The dealer distributes the entire deck of cards, one at a time, in a clockwise direction, starting with the player to their immediate left.
• Each player receives 13 cards, resulting in a total of 52 cards dealt.
• The final card dealt is placed face up on the table to indicate the trump suit for the hand.

Ganhar mais vadas que a parceria adversária; as primeiras 6 vadas não pontuam (chamadas de 'book').

• The player to the dealer's left leads to the first trick by playing any card from their hand.
• Following suit is mandatory if possible. If not, players may play any card from their hand.
• The highest card of the suit led wins the trick, unless a trump card is played. In that case, the highest trump card wins the trick.
• The winner of each trick leads to the next trick, continuing until all 13 tricks are played.
• Players keep track of the number of tricks won by each partnership, often by stacking won tricks in front of one partner.

Distribua 13 cartas para cada jogador. A última carta distribuída ao dealer é virada para cima e determina o naipe trunfo; o dealer a toma na mão.

1. O jogador à esquerda do dealer abre a primeira vada.
2. Os jogadores devem seguir o naipe aberto se possível.
3. A carta mais alta do naipe aberto ganha, ou o trunfo mais alto.
4. O vencedor da vada abre a próxima.

As primeiras 6 vadas não pontuam. Cada vada acima de 6 vale 1 ponto. Primeiro a 5 pontos (ou 7 em variante mais longa) vence a partida.
