Quick Summary

Solo whist is a card game derived from whist, played by four individuals. Each player receives 13 cards, and the last card dealt determines the trump suit. Players then bid on various declarations, such as winning a specific number of tricks or losing all of them. The highest bidder becomes the soloist and aims to fulfill their contract. Points are awarded or deducted based on the success of the soloist's bid and the number of tricks taken or lost.12
