Quickfire Rules:
German Whist is divided into two sections: the Foreplay and the Endgame. During the foreplay, players select cards from their hand in order to win or lose cards turned over from the main deck. In the endgame, they play their resulting hands against each other to win tricks.
A card is beaten either by a higher card of the same suit, or any Trump card. Once a card is played, other players must play a card from the same suit. If they do not hold any cards from this suit, they may choose to Trump, or Throw Away by playing any non-trump card.
One point is scored for every trick a player wins over six in ‘Last 13’ scoring, or every trick over 13 in ‘Every Trick’ scoring mode.
This Card game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We have enjoyed playing this game while learning how to play better. We played easy for a while, but got tired of winning every hand. However, when we switched to hard, we still win about 80% of the time. Maybe some work could be done on the computers skill level! Otherwise, a good game.
Awesome programming. Simple way to learn this card game. Computer plays well unlike so many others apps. We highly recommend.
Nice mix of strategy and luck! Ads are not annoying.
We really want to like this game, but its a disappointment. The easy level is far too easy, and we win every game. The hard level is impossible to win. Can there not be a middle ground?? Its a great game if you like to win every time on the easy level! We did enjoy the game at first, so we gave it 2 stars. Dont get this unless you want to be frustrated.
Not a fancy flashy game. Just true to the card game.
