Bid Whist - Classic

Bid Whist is an exciting, popular partnership trick-taking game. It is played with a standard 52 card deck plus 2 jokers, for a total of 54 cards. There are 4 players consisting of two teams; each player sits opposite their partner. The game starts with each team at zero, and the object of the game is to reach a score 7 or more points, or force the other team to go negative 7 or more points. Points are scored by bidding for and winning tricks, which in this game are called books.
*No Trump Bids will double your points (win or lose the bid)

The Bidding

The turn to bid goes around the table only once starting with the player to the left of the dealer. Each bid consists of a number from 4 to 7, and a suffix "uptown", "downtown", or "no trump".

The number indicates the number of books above 6 that the bidder's team will contract to win
- for example a bid of 5 is a promise to win at least 11 books (6 + 5). As there are 13 books in all, 7 is the highest possible bid.Uptown (or "high") means you intend to name a trump suit, and that high cards will win.Downtown (or "low") means that you intend to name a trump suit, and that low cards will win.No Trump means that there will be no trump, and that if you win the bidding you will then determine whether high or low cards will have preference.

Added an option for Easy or Traditional(Hard Bidding). With Hard Bidding, you can only see the Kitty Cards after you have selected the Trump Suit and Direction(Uptown or Downtown) of your hand. With Easy Bidding, you can see the Kitty cards before you select the Trump Suit or Direction(with a No Trump Bid).

This game no longer allows me to bid a 4 even if no one else has bid it must be a glitch because thats a recent issue. Ive deleted and reinstalled ive restarted my phone and the issues still present

Newer version requires opening bid of 5 or better from 1st bidder but will allow a 4 bid from others when 1st bidder passes. Very unusual and eliminates 1st bid competition.

Game makes me bid higher even though there are no other bids and since the update, the computer only picks clubs for trumps. What is going on

if you make a mistske or hit the wrong button..you cannot back up, reverse, or return to previous. Also, you cannot read what the bids are when they place the icon of front telling you what the previous opponents did. You cannot see that last line clearly. Please move it down or available to see completely.

One of my favorite card games to play. Never get tired of playing. Same as Spades. Book of cards change. Spades stay the same. Great game.

Bid Whist is an exciting game, you can spend hours playing. It would be even more interesting if the 2014 version can be replace or update by a current one .

Sometimes partner soes not play card that is obvious to be played

My brother introduced me to this app a few days ago. Initially I was incredulous due to the fact that I have played face-to-face Bid for 40 years. I am happy to report this app is AWESOME! Becuase it is hard to find players under 45 years old these days, this is a great substitute. I love it!

The set-up needs adjusting. As it is Icannot see who bid what. It makes for guessing when bidding. Please fix it! Otherwise enjoying the game.

I love Bid Whist so I thought I'd try this one. The only gripe I have is my partner aka computer sometimes seems to be playing against me as opposed to playing as my partner. I do understand that it is a computer but plz see if u can do something about this problem. Don't wanna uninstall

Game free and you only get a half of screen. You can't see what the other bids are and it does this often. It takes a while to go back to normal.

Could be good but I wish my partner could play. They will continue to play all the trump even when the opponents don't have any. They won't play your suit back on a no trump but open a random suit. It's very frustrating.

Why is it you have the partner program to cut or hold cards causing to get set or cut??? Need to improve this tactic. I know you want the computer to rule the game, but dame.

Wil. J. J. J. Jul 1, 2020     

This game is full of bull. Whoever programed the partner to set the team playing the wrong suit or to not even bid when they get a good hand needs to be slapped. This game is in serious need of updating and programing to be considered fun with this app.

I absolutely love this Bid Whist game! By far one of the best, I actually have to make myself put it down, I've fallen asleep while playing . . love it, love it, love it!!!

The game is nice, but I hate the ads after each hand. I would rather purchase the game than consistently see ads between every game

Nat. F. Apr 8, 2019     

This game has some flaws I can't take out a straight 4 with a no trump bid. My partner never plays his winning card when I am searching for the joker or the ace. Why would you ever play all your aces and open up every suit and have no run suit to keep your component from gaining the lead? I feel like I am playing against all three players instead of with my partner.

Gla. L. Jun 1, 2020     

The game is great and the pop up ads never bothered me until I started receiving ads for Donald Trump. Getting Donald Trump ads after every hand is frustrating.

Ire. B. Aug 2, 2019     

whom ever developed this game don't know how to bid it goes up town, down town, no trump. Not no trump, downtown. I've been playing this game since i was 15 years old. I'm 60 now. Love the game but you need to correct it.

Lil. B. Sep 5, 2021     

Great past time game to play. Would like to see a version where we can change partner.

Kat. P. Nov 11, 2019     

Have to always close the app to start over, need a "new game" connection; don't want to keep going out of the app to start over.

Fre. J. Feb 10, 2022     

It gets stuck and you have reinstalled the app again. It freezing 🥶

Jo. A. B. Feb 4, 2020     

Because of where the ads are coming up, I can't see what's been bid. Think I'll delete this app

Sam. H. Jun 20, 2020     

I love the game, I feel there is a great challenge in playing and using your mind..

Bon. B. Jan 22, 2020     

Would be five stars if the sound would not keep coming on when I continually press sound off.

Nan. R. Aug 29, 2019     

Love it but sometimes its not lined up properly and you can't see your cards because they are blocked

Fel. B. Feb 4, 2020     

This bid whist game is unlike any other online game I've played. They call phones smart, but this game is the most stupid bid whist game I've ever played. Doesn't know when to stop playing Trump when opponents don't have them, plays best cards first when Ace's are still out there.... Ugh 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁 No

Cha. M. May 29, 2021     

I like it is my favorite gaming experience and it doesn't have any money from you I am the winner of this house but you are still in a situation where I don't know how you can see that I am the winner of this game.

Mel. C. Aug 28, 2021     

I love this game. The only problem is the bidding. Not how you should be able to lower a bid.
