contract whist
Posted: Oct 13, 2014
Have any of you hearts or crib players played whist where you have to call exactly how many tricks you get ? I think its called contract whist. This would be a great game to play on line Aidan !! Its similar to hearts but with trumps. Virtually no luck involved, which seems in abundance in hearts, and cribbage. I know it is a game of luck and skill but the luck doesn't seem evenly spread around. These are fun games , which you've been good enough to provide, and shouldn't be taken seriously, as I for one admit to doing in the past.
However in this contract whist If you get a poor hand, you can call no tricks if you want to. There is plenty of skill in getting the number of tricks you asked for. Get a trick you're not expecting means losing one of those you expected. I wouldn't see any need for quitters, moaners, rudeness or ignorance etc with this. Do you think this could be a possibility in time to come ?
