Quickfire rules
German Whist is played in two phases. In the first phase, players play tricks while drawing from the deck, trying to win (or sometimes lose) the upturned card to shape their future hand. In the second phase, the deck is gone and players play out their final hands to win tricks.
A card is beaten by a higher card of the same suit, or by any trump. Players must follow suit if possible; otherwise they may play any card.
Scoring depends on your chosen mode (Last 13 or Every Trick), with points based on tricks won beyond the threshold for that mode.
