Oh Hell - Contract Whist

About Oh Hell - Contract Whist

This English game was originally called Oh! Well, but is often known as Contract Whist in Britain and, less commonly, as Nomination Whist, while American sources call it Oh Pshaw or, more frequently Oh Hell. David Parlett gives other names Blackout, Bust, Elevator and Jungle Bridge, while John McLeod adds Blob, so called because the player's predicted bid is overwritten with a black blob if not achieved. It can be played with Wizard rules as well
