Whist is different game, even though there is a clear kinship between Oh Hell and Whist.
To make things more complicated, I saw mobile apps to play Oh Hell but under the name of… Whist. What’s more, Oh Hell is known around the world under many names. And there are many variants of the game, with varied scoring, biding and additional rules, although Oh Hell is a relatively young game. This is something that many Whist or Bridge players could invite. The idea on which the game is built is quite obvious. I think its possible that many similar games appeared separately in a few parts of the world. It’s hard to say when the game was invented or by who, but we can be sure it derives from Whist. Oh Hell is a really nice card game, but I can’t say much about its history.
This game is called Oh Hell and you just have to give it a try. Now imagine there’s a card game that has features and benefits of Bridge and Poker. And why do people love Poker? Because its surprising, risky and unpredictable. Why do people love Contract Bridge? Because it’s so logical, elegant and strategic.
