Bid exactly right. Score nothing if you're off by even one trick. Oh Hell is the trick-taking card game where precision beats luck. Every round, you predict exactly how many tricks you'll win โ not one more, not one less. Nail it and score big. Miss by even one and you walk away with nothing. Perfect for families and card game fans who want something with real strategy and just the right amount of chaos. --- HOW IT WORKS --- Each round, players bid the number of tricks they expect to win. The catch: the dealer can never bid a number that would make everyone's bids add up to exactly the tricks available. Someone is guaranteed to miss. That's Oh Hell. Rounds shrink from a full hand down to a single card, swing through a dramatic No-Trump pivot round, then build back up โ creating a natural arc of tension across the whole game. --- FEATURES --- - 2-7 players on one device, pass-and-play with a privacy handoff screen - AI opponents with 4 difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert - The classic family variant plus multiple round structures, scoring systems, and bidding rules - Cards sorted automatically by suit and rank - Running score tracker, trick history, and end-of-game stats - Clean landscape table layout designed to feel like real felt --- VARIANTS INCLUDED --- Down -> No-Trump -> Up (family default), Up & Back, Up Only, Down Only, and Fixed Hand Size. Mix and match scoring and bidding rules to play your family's way. --- GAME HISTORY --- Tap the history icon any time during play to see every round, every bid, every card played, trick by trick. --- ALSO KNOWN AS --- Oh Hell goes by many names at different tables: Oh Pshaw, Blackout, Blob, Upstairs Downstairs. Whatever you call it, this is your game. No account required. No internet needed. Just deal the cards and play.
