Oh Hell is a deceptively simple trick-taking card game with a single twist that makes it addictive: before each round you predict exactly how many tricks you will win — and you only score big if you hit your bid on the nose, not one trick more or fewer. Easy to learn, tactically demanding, and played by millions worldwide, Oh Hell (also known as Ten Down, Stiche Raten, Bid Whist and the Wizard card game) belongs to the classic Whist family alongside Bridge, Hearts and Spades. Play free online against thousands of real players in public or private rooms, chat at the table, or train offline against the computer — anytime, anywhere.

How to play

1. Players: 2–4 players; best with 4. AI bots can fill empty seats.
2. Cards: A double 32-card deck (suits Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades; ranks high→low A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7), i.e. two copies of each card — 64 cards total in the engine.
3. Rounds: The game is a series of hands. It starts at 10 cards each and goes down by one card per round to 1 card; the game ends after the 1-card round (10 rounds total).
4. Trump: Each round one trump card is flipped from the deck, setting the trump suit for that round.
5. Bidding: Going round the table, each player announces (bids) how many tricks they expect to win. The bid total is constrained so the last bidder may not make the total of all bids equal the number of tricks in the round (the "screw the dealer" rule — someone must end up over or under).
6. Trick play (Farbzwang, no Stichzwang): You must follow the suit led if you can; if you cannot, you may play a trump or any other card. There is no obligation to win the trick and no under-trumping rule. Highest trump wins, else highest card of the led suit.
7. Scoring (authoritative): If you win exactly the number of tricks you bid, you score a 10-point bonus + 1 point per trick won. If you miss your bid (over or under), you score only 1 point per trick won — no bonus, no penalty.
8. Winner: Points accumulate across all rounds; highest total after the final (1-card) round wins.
