Whist*
Whist is a trick-taking card game that uses a standard deck and was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. The simplest version involves fixed partnerships without bidding, where players must follow the leading suit or play a trump if they cannot follow. The goal is to win more than 6 tricks, with each trick earning 1 point, and variations exist for determining trump suits and scoring bonuses for holding high-ranking cards in the trump suit.
