Quickfire rules
After the cards are dealt to four players, each player may pass or bid the number of books they believe their team can win above six. Bids can be Uptown (high cards), Downtown (low cards), or No Trumps. The winning bidder sets the trump suit (or direction for No Trumps), then picks up the kitty and discards the same number of cards. The bidding team is awarded the first book for taking the kitty.
Players then play tricks, following suit if possible; otherwise any card may be played, including trump. The bidding team aims to win enough books to meet or beat their contract, while the other team tries to set them.
At the end of the round, the bidding team scores 1 point per book over six if they meet or beat their contract. If they fail, they lose points based on the contract (according to your selected rules). The game is won when a team reaches +7 or forces the opponents to -7.
This game is very enjoyable for me. I’m not a big fan of the computer teammate because it does not learn your play style at all and it can even make some bad bids that end in you losing the hand.However, the reason for the 5 stars is because if you were playing with other people you might not always have a good teammate. It makes you have to work on trying to learn how to handle each hand and game differently. So, that is a nice aspect of that.
No-Trump Blunders
Issie T
This app is fun and I enjoy many stress-free hours of play. However, my partner doesn’t seem to know not to introduce new suits, especially when I obviously don’t have that suit and have thrown off on it. My partner has lost me many a game that way. If the partner cannot come back in the suit I introduced, I will play another suit to come back in. The programming should be engineered to recognize that. Also, I will look for gap cards in all my suits first so if I’m looking for the king of spades for instance, PLAY IT! Don’t let me lose the trick or you get to the point that you cannot come back in spades and make me lose the hand. Bottom line, I think the programmer needs a refresher in no-trump play rules!
Developer Response
Hi, thanks for the feedback!The AI logic for No-Trump rounds is being worked on for the next update. We are currently collecting feedback on how it plays. If you could email more information about gaps in the AI logic to hello@coppercod.games it will really help us to improve the game. Thanks!
Sporting the Kitty
Not from around here anymore
I have never seen an online Bid Whist game where you show what is in the kitty like many people do in real games. This is the best one so far however I am not sure why it doesn’t start pulling trump first. It is hard to win when your partner gets cut with a trump card they didn’t pull.
NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

This is a fun game however, it becomes very frustrating when AI can’t bid. It would be better if AI learns your patterns and helps you along the way. AI bidding and can’t make the plays becomes very frustrating and I stop playing for days or weeks at a time because it happens very often! This should not be happening on any level. It’s not even a competition! I will need an update before I continue to play. The game definitely have potential, it’s just a few AI perks that needs to be worked on!
Thanks for playing Bid Whist — here's what's new in this update:
- Four-color deck: clearer suits at a glance with four suit colors.
- Mobile cards on all devices: thinner cards with larger numbers, now available everywhere.
- New card faces: fresh designs with improved contrast to accommodate the other changes.
- AutoPlay: plays a card for you when there's only one legal move (and on the final trick).
- Claim: claim the remaining tricks when all remaining cards are guaranteed winners.
- Show starting hands: shows the starting hands of all players at the end of each round.
