Three-Handed Whist

Whist is a fast, elegant card game for three players where Clubs are always trump and the player who wins the most tricks comes out ahead. Deal thirteen cards to each player and set aside a thirteen-card widow. Before play begins you decide your fate: peek at the widow and swap your whole hand for it, gamble on a sight-unseen blind swap, or stand pat with what you were dealt. Then play out thirteen tricks — follow suit when you can, slip in a Club to steal a trick, and read your opponents to win more than they expect. First to fifteen points takes the game.

Clubs are permanent trump and the Ace is high. On your turn, follow the suit that was led if you can; if you can't, play any card — including a trump to capture the trick. Whoever wins a trick leads the next one. Each hand you score the tricks you take above your contract, and the first player to reach fifteen points wins. Simple to learn, sharp to master. Deal and play.
