Nomination Whist 2.0a

As its name implies, this game is a member of the Whist family of card games. It is similar to straight Whist in as much as each of the four players plays individually and not as partners as in the various Bridge varieties of the game. It is similar to Bridge, and Solo Whist in as much as there is a round of bidding beforehand, where each player estimates how many tricks they will take having regard for the current trump suit and the number of cards dealt. Its own uniqueness comes from the the fact that each subsequent deal has fewer and fewer cards. All 52 cards are dealt at the first deal, 13 to each player. On the second deal, each player receives 12 cards and son, until the 13th and final deal finds each player with a single card.

After 13 deals, the game is over and the player with the highest score is the winner of that game. You may elect to play more than one game, in which case, the player with the most number of game wins is the overall winner.

In this simulation, you play South and the computer plays West, North and East.

In version 2.0 the following new features have been added:

• You can elect to play a Short game (13 deals) or a Long game (25 deals).
• You can elect to have NT (No Trumps) as a fifth trump suit.
• You can select either Random or Cyclic generation of trumps.
