I found at OpenClipArt, a great site with free graphics. The game is made using html+JavaScript+css with jQuery used for the animations.

You don't have to play in a team with Bill 😀. I hope you like it, and especially the Spades players, I hope you appreciate the fact that On our site, and I liked the fact that Oh Hell! is not played in teams, and is relatively simple but still has an interesting twist, so Oh Hell! is the first trick taking game I've made in a long time! But trick taking games are always among the most popular games It's possible for two or more players to win if they end up with the same score, there is no sudden death Once the 19th round is finished the player The game is played for 19 hands, from 10 cards per player, down to 1 and then back up to 10. If a player takes fewer or more tricks than their bid then they get no bonus, only 1 point per trick taken. If a player bids 3, and then takes 3 tricks then they would get 3 points for the tricks and 10 for hitting the bid, or 13 points in total. Once a hand is finished a player gets 1 point for each trick they took, and a bonus of 10 points if they hit their bid exactly. They do in for example Hearts and Spades. It's allowed to lead trump cards right from the start, trumps don't have to be broken like The player with the highest ranking trump card wins. The player with the highest ranking card of the suit led wins the trick, or if a player was out of the suit that was led and plays a trump card then He leads a card and the other players have to follow suit if they can. By forbidding the last player to bid 1 the rules makes sure that at least one player will always fail their bid!Īfter bidding is finished the player to the left of the dealer starts. For example: In a round with 10 cards per player, if the first 3 players have allīid 3, then the final player cannot bid 1, since that would make the combined bids 3+3+3+1=10, the same number of tricks that are available in That would make it possible for everyone to make their bids. One extra twist that makes the bidding a bit more interesting is that when it's the last player's turn to bid, they cannot make a bid A player's objective is then to take the exact number of tricks they said they would take. After players see the trump it's time for them to bid, to say how many tricks they think they will Once the cards for the hand have been dealt the top card of the remaining deck is turned up and the suit of the top card becomes Of rounds but since some of them have very few cards they don't take very long. In the eleventh round, 3 cards in the twelfth round, and all the way back up to 10 cards in the nineteenth and final round. The number of cards then goes back up, 2 cards Then 8 cards in the third round and all the way down to 1 card in the 10th round. In the second round each player gets 9 cards, In the first round the dealerĭeals 10 cards to each player. The players do not play in teams, every player is playing only for themselves. Here on CardGames.io we always play with four players, but in real life the game can be played The first dealer is chosen at random and then the deal movesĬlockwise around the table. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. Variations that you can play, but we try to stick to the most common rules in our game. Up and Down the River, Contract Whist, Bid Whist,īust and probably others as well! Like a lot of card games it has many names and many Oh Hell is a simple but fun trick taking game.
