david_c Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 In the variation I played, there were 10 rounds, with each player getting dealt the number of cards equal to the round number, and trumps alternating sequentially. I can't remember the exact order, but it was something like ♦s, ♥s, ♣s, ♠s, NT for the 1st 5, and the same order again for the next 5.Yeah, that's what our family plays too (♥-♣-♦-♠-NT), except that the number of cards decreases from 10 to 1. We call it "contract whist". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 A variation we use applies when there is only one card dealt to each player, whereby the player shows their card to all the other players by placing it face-out on their forehead without seeing it themselves until after having made their bid. Do you still require dealer to change his bid if the total bids are one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
