Oh Hell PC Card Game

Oh Hell can be played with three to six players. A standard deck of 52 cards is deal with the cards ranking from Two (low) to Ace (high). Each player is dealt 10 cards (8 if there are six players). After the deal the next card is flipped over to determine the Trump Suit.On each successive hand one less card is dealt until each hand consists of just one card. Then each successive hand is dealt with one more card until each hand consists of 10 cards again.The object of the game is to bid the exact number of tricks you think you can make. Points are only rewarded if you make your bid exactly, no more and no less.Each player bids in turn with the dealer bidding last. The total number of bids cannot equal the number of tricks in play, which means the dealer's bid may be restricted. It also means that the hand will always be either overbid or underbid and every player cannot make their bid.

The object is to win the exact number of tricks bid. Each player plays a card in turn. The player must follow suit if able or may trump or discard at will if unable to follow suit. The trick is won by the highest card of the suit led, or the highest trump card if the trick contains trump.

A player who takes more or less tricks than they bid scores 0. A player who makes their bid exactly scores 10 points plus 1 point for each trick bid. The player with the most points when the dealing progression ends wins the game.
