Solo Whist is a trick-taking card game played by one player against the AI.
Here’s how to play:
- Deck: A standard deck of 52 playing cards is used.
- Object: The objective of the game is to win as many tricks as possible.
- Deal: The entire deck is dealt to the player. The player then separates the deck into four groups of 13 cards each.
- Bidding: The player decides which of the four groups of cards they want to play with and announces the number of tricks they expect to win.
- Play: The player leads a card and then the AI plays a card. The player must follow suit if possible, otherwise, they may play any card. The highest card of the suit led wins the trick and the winner of the trick leads the next one.
- Scoring: Points are scored based on the number of tricks won. If the player wins the number of tricks they bid, they score 10 points for each trick. If they win more or fewer tricks, they score minus 10 points for each trick they are short or plus one point for each trick they win over the bid.
- Repeat: The game is repeated with the remaining three groups of cards.
- Winning: The game is won by the player with the highest total score after all four rounds.
