Whist became popular in England during the 16th century, when it evolved from the earlier game of Triumph.
At first the game was confined to the lower class and widely played in coffee houses, but following Edmond Hoyles Short Treatise on the Game of Whist in 1741, the game was introduced into the upper fashionable society.
During the 18th and 19th century, the game spread to other European countries. Whist evolved to the game of Bridge.
Whist is a game played by 4 players, in 2 partnerships. In this App, you (the south player) will be playing with the North player, against the East/West team. A standard deck of 52 cards is dealt out. The goal is to win 7 tricks to win the hand.
A skillful Whist player works collaboratively with the partner, remembers which cards have been played and then play the hand against the position of the remaining cards.
Enjoy the challenge!
Latest reviews of Whist app for iPhone and iPad
The is stupid compare at the reel game
Stupid sounds which turn back on even when you turn them off. Play is slow and game is a complete waste of money.
Not the Whist game I was expecting (I thought this would be bid Whist)This game has no bidding and trump is determined by the dealers last card. The game is fine, there does seems to be a long delay after each trick is played out. Im still looking for a good bid Whist ipad app!
Good playing game. Good graphics. Ability to turn off sound. Good game logic. Got beaten a few times til I won one.
Was hoping it had variations such as Minnesota Whist and Norwegian Whist.
