Solo Whist is a trick taking game for four players. Each player is ultimately playing for themselves, but the alliances will shift from deal to deal. A standard 52 card pack is used, with cards ranking (from highest to lowest): A K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2.

The Deal

At the beginning of the game, the cards are shuffled by the dealer and then cut. The cards are dealt in packets of three, followed by a single card, so that everybody has 13. The final card to be dealt to the dealer is turned face up to determine the trump suit.

Differences from Pagat

The basic unit payment can be set in the table options. The default is 5 points.

Overtricks and undertricks in an abundance are both worth 2 points.

If all players pass, the cards are gathered together, cut, and redealt as 3-3-3-3-1.
