How Knockout whist is played here
The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.
- Seven cards each, then six, then five, and so on down to one.
- Anybody who takes no trick at all in a round takes no further part.
- The first round turns a card for trumps. After that, whoever took the most tricks names the suit and leads.
- A player knocked out in the first round may stay in with a single card, played on any trick they like. Win with it and they are back with a full hand.
How it works
- Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
- Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
- Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.
