In the first phase, each trick decides who wins the face-up card from the deck. In the second phase, both players use their final hands to win as many tricks as possible. Players must follow suit if they can. If they cannot follow suit, they may play any card, including a trump card. Scoring depends on your chosen mode. In Last 13 scoring, only the endgame tricks count. In Every Trick scoring, the whole round matters. Whether you know German Whist already or want a compact two-player card game to learn, Classic German Whist gives you a clean offline version you can play at your own pace.

Four players form 2 teams, with partners sitting across from each other. Each player is dealt 9 cards, plus 4 cards for the widow in the middle of the table. An auction bid begins at 30, for the right to name the trump suit. The high bidder swaps out cards with the widow, then leads a trump. During the tricks phase, Aces are high, 5s are worth 5 points, 10s and Aces are worth 10 points. The other cards are worth nothing. The high bidder's team needs to meet or exceed its high bid.
