Nomination/Contract Whist
Rules:
The
entire deck is dealt between all players.
The
trump suit is decided before the hands are dealt, and cycles through all suits.
Hearts 1st hand
Clubs 2nd hand
Diamonds 3rd hand
Spades 4th hand
Hearts 5th hand and so on…..
Once the deck has been dealt out, each player must nominate the number of
tricks he thinks he can get.
Play commences.
The highest card of the led suit wins the trick, unless a trump is
played, when the highest trump would win.
Scoring
At the end of the hand, when all cards have been played, scores are
taken.
If a player nominated 4 tricks, and got 4 tricks, he would get 4 points
for the 4 tricks and a 10 point bonus,
for a correct
nomination.
If the player had only got 3 tricks, or even 5 tricks, he would only get
a point for each trick and no bonus.
A pre defined winning score is agreed between players, maybe 100 points.
The first player to reach this score wins the game.
