Bid Whist

Bid Whist is a popular book (or trick) taking game in which two teams of two players try to win the bid or set their opponents. If you're familiar with spades, bridge or hearts, or if you just like a very strategic challenge, you will love this game.

Options include:
- Deuce of Spades as third joker
- Low bid beating High bid
- Board of 4 instead of 3
- Register to compare scores with other players

Notes:
- Ace is always the high card in non-trump suits, whether uptown or downtown.
- Your hand is automatically arranged based on an uptown/downtown bid and the trump suit
- The kitty is not sported
- Over books are not counted
- To be credited for a Boston, you must bid and win 7. Simply getting all the books will not count for a Boston if you bid less than 7.

I love bid whist, your game was closest to the real game but...I agree with all the other reviews. The freezing screen, the false reneg, the duplicate cards ( I had 2 queen of hearts) etc. if these things were fixed you would have THE Best whist game out there.

Bug in "no" bids

If opponent bids a "no" and my joker is replaced from the kitty, it seems that the replacement card can not be played.

Partner doesn’t know how to play a no trump
one book down always

My partner also plays the suit I don’t have after I’ve shown what suits I do have. Then when the rest of the hand is played he has cards in my suit in his hand. Really???? Why does my partner pull all the trump when we are the only 2 with trump and he has losers in his hand?

Sometimes the game freezes and I have to delete the app and add it and start fresh. Not good. Please improve this app and iron out the kinks. The other bid whist app does not have this problem. In addition it tells you to follow suit when you are out of the suit and you’re trying to play another suit. It accuses you of reneging. Then you have to exit the game and start a new one. This is very frustrating, especially when you’re winning. It will also sometimes have duplicate cards, I.e., two sevens or two kings.

I was enjoying the game but started to notice duplicates in the deck. The Android version seemed more stable.

Game needs help
BIG HOLLY3

For the longest this game needed help, when you bid a no Trump, your partner plays against you, it also duplicates cards. After all this time, and so called improvements why has this not been corrected. When you have a really good hand going your partner locks you out.

Error

First time error. Today sometimes my hand is missing a card once all cards are dealt. Sometimes Only Three cards are played because other hand is missing one card.

Choose different names for players
BubbaBuns

I’ve played this version for over 3 years. At first the names of the opposing players were funny. Recently,the names hinge on being offensive towards people of color, different religions, people with disabilities, alternative lifestyles, and women. Surely, there are names that can be used that aren’t insulting. If none can be chosen, stick with numbers or letters.
