Norwegian whist

Norwegian whist is a trick-taking card game played without trumps. It is a partnership game where each player, in turn, bids to either win the most tricks (grand) or lose the most tricks (nullo). The first bid made determines how the hand will be played; if all players pass, the hand is automatically played as nullo. The opening lead depends on whether the game is grand or nullo. In grand, the player to the bidder's left leads, while in nullo, the player to the bidder's right leads. Scoring involves points awarded per trick, with different point values for winning or losing depending on the bid. The game concludes when a player reaches 50 points.1
