INTRODUCTION OF ISRAELI WHIST

Simply known as Whist in Israel, this variation of the classic game has some interesting additions.  Two rounds of bidding occurs in which players strive to name the trump suit and claim how many tricks they are going to take.  Scoring similarly to Oh Heck and Spades, players must meet their trick-bid exactly or else they will lose points from their score.

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

Israeli Whist is played with a 52 card deck.  2’s are low, and Aces are high.  For bidding purposes, the suits rank from low to high in alphabetical order: Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades.  A No Trump bid is the highest.  

Shuffle and deal 13 cards to each player.  Deal passes left each round.  

BIDDING

There are two rounds of bidding: trump and contract. 

BID FOR TRUMP

Player left of the dealer bids first.  They may pass or bid.  When a player bids, they say how many tricks they will take as well as which suit will be trump.  A bid of 7 Diamonds, for example, means that if Diamonds is Trump, the player will capture 7 tricks.  A player must bid at least 5.  

Continuing around the table, following players can either raise the bid or pass.  A player can raise the bid with a higher ranking suit or a higher number of tricks in the same suit.  Based on the previous example in the paragraph above, the next player can raise the bid by saying 8 Diamonds.  They could also raise the bid by saying 5 Hearts.  

Bidding continues until three players pass in a row.  The highest bid determines the trump suit for the round.  Remember, the highest ranking suit bid is No Trump.  If No Trump is called, the suit that leads each trick is the highest ranking for that trick.

FRISCH 메이저사이트추천

If all four players pass without bidding, a Frisch round occurs. Each player chooses three cards from their hand and passes them to the player on their left.  The minimal bid for a Frisch round is 6 instead of 5.  Bidding continues as normal.  Three Frisch rounds can happen in a row, and the minimum bid raises by one for each new round.  After the third Frisch round, if no one bids, the hand is called a misdeal.  The cards are thrown back in and deal passes left.

CONTRACT BID

After the bid for trump is finished, a second round of bidding occurs.  During this round, each player will declare how many tricks they plan to take (0 – 13).  The Contract Bid begins with the player who won the Trump Bid.  They must bid at least as many tricks as they did to win the Trump Bid.  Bids continue left with each player bidding as many as they like.  The fourth player to bid cannot say the amount that would cause the total bids to equal 13.  How the fourth player bids determines whether the hand will be an Over or an Under.  If the bid total equals more than 13, it’s an Over.  A bid total less than 13 makes it an Under.  This affects scoring later on.
