WHIST is one of the original Classics, predating the card games of Bridge, Pinochle, Spades, Poker, and Hearts - to name a few.
The last 50 years have seen the resurgence of many variations of Whist - especially the Bid version with the use of Jokers! The popularity of the Internet, dedicated APP Sites, and the growth of "live" tournaments, have helped to promote Whist.

. Trump and No Trump skills

In addition, you will find:
