Oh Hell!
Good for teaching the concept of trick-taking.
Players: 3-7.
- A hand of 10 cards is played, then a hand of 9, then 8, etc., all the way down to 1.
- If there enough time in the evening, we then play back up to 10.
- Within each hand:
- The trump suit is determined randomly.
- Each player bids how many tricks they think they will take.
- At the end of each hand, points are scored:
- 1 point for each trick taken.
- 10 Bonus points if you matched your bid exactly.
- In the hand with only 1 card dealt, we play a round of Devil’s Poker.
