Learn as you play
Optional bidding hints suggest a bid directly from the bidding panel and explain the reasoning behind it. They can help new players understand how hand strength, jokers, long suits, partner signals and the current auction affect a bidding decision.
With Signal Bids enabled, computer players can use low opening bids to share information with their partner and can understand signals made by either their computer partner or the player.
Sacrifice Bids introduce more advanced endgame decisions. A computer player may deliberately overcall when an opponent’s current contract could win the game, but only when losing the sacrifice would keep its own team in contention.
How Bid Whist works
Players bid the number of books they expect their partnership to win above six, or pass. Bids can be Uptown, Downtown or No Trump. The winning bidder chooses the contract, takes the kitty, discards and then tries to win enough books with their partner.
For Uptown and Downtown contracts, the winning bidder sets the trump suit. For No Trump contracts, the winning bidder sets the direction. Players must follow suit if possible. If they cannot follow suit, they may play any card, including trump.
The bidding team scores when it makes its contract and loses points when it is set. The first team to reach the target score—or force its opponents down to the negative target—wins.
