How to use "Whist" in context?
Whist is a card game that is most popular in America and Britain. The game is made up of four deals, with fifteen cards each. The aim is to make as many geometrical figures as possible, while avoiding the spades. Any card that is not a geometrical figure is Joker and can be used to get rid of any unwanted card. The player starts by being dealt two cards face down. These are known as the "packet" or "thumb". The second card is then turned face up and the player either keeps it or swaps it with the first card from their pack.
