About Whist
What this is
This is a free game of partnership whist you can play right in your browser, alongside a partner and two computer opponents. There is no signup, no account, and nothing to download or install. It works on a phone, a tablet, or a computer.
Why we built it
Whist is one of the oldest partnership trick-taking games, and it still rewards quiet attention at the table. We wanted an online version that keeps that calm: quick to start and easy on the eyes. That is the whole design goal: big, readable cards, a clear trump, and no clutter between you and the next trick. Easy to read, easy to play.
What else is here
Alongside the game we keep a small set of reference pages, maintained together with the game itself so the rules and the play always match:
Who makes this
This site is built and maintained by a small, independent team of people who actually play these games. It is one of a handful of classic card game sites we look after, and we keep the rules and strategy pages current alongside the game rather than letting them drift. If a rule looks wrong or a hand plays strangely, that is the kind of thing we want to fix.
