Bid Whist is an exciting, popular partnership trick-taking game. It is played with a standard 52 card deck plus 2 jokers, for a total of 54 cards. There are 4 players consisting of two teams of two; each player sits opposite their partner. The game starts with each team at zero, and the object of the game is to reach a score 7 or more points, or force the other team to go negative 7 or more points. Points are scored by bidding for and winning tricks, which in this game are called books. *No Trump Bids will double your points(win or lose the bid) *First Dealer is picked at Random The Bidding The turn to bid goes around the table only once starting with the player to the left of the dealer. Each bid consists of a number from 4 to 7, and a suffix "uptown", "downtown", or "no trump". The number indicates the number of books above 6 that the bidder's team will contract to win - for example a bid of 5 is a promise to win at least 11 books (6 + 5). As there are 13 books in all, 7 is the highest possible bid. Uptown (or "high") means you intend to name a trump suit, and that high cards will win. Downtown (or "low") means that you intend to name a trump suit, and that low cards will win. No Trump means that there will be no trump, and that if you win the bidding you will then determine whether high or low cards will have preference.

Illogically programmed

This game would be better if the programming was more like it is played with a real partner. As an example, your computer partner plays as if it is a solo game. It routinely plays a trump cardWhen your ace, in an off-suit would win the book. It's frustrating to see jacks (if it's an uptown bid) or 3s ( if it's a downtown bid) win books when a suit is played for the first time. It's also weird when your partner sits on a joker or an ace when you are trying to figure out where it is in an effort to make your bid. Additionally, you'll find that your partner rarely has the hand to win a bid without a lot of help from you. Those bids are hard to make when your partner has cards in all four suits. You'll play the game if you love bid whist, but it's programming will drive you crazy!

Sometimes when the opponent bids high it won’t allow you to make the low bid, ex: bid 4, counterbid 4 low. The game says I must bid a 5. Yet when I make a high bid it allows the computer to counterbid with a low. So I’m deleting this and trying another one.

Way to many ads for my liking. Bid whist is a game of strategy and mental calculation. I've played for years but I'm looking for no ad games now.
