The game continues until all eight tricks have been played, and the first half of the game is over once the last card of the stockpile is taken. The dealer then plays a card, and the player with the highest card of the suit led wins the trick. The non-dealer starts the round and may lead any card from their hand. The game is played in two parts, with the first part being used to gather good cards for the second half of the game. In German Whist, players aim to win tricks and score points.

This game is a variation of classic Whist and is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. Are you tired of playing the same card games over and over again? If you're looking for a new two-player card game to add to your collection, German Whist might just be what you're looking for.
