Rules of the online card game OH HELL
OH HELL is a card game standardly played with 4 players; however, here you can play with 2 to 7 players. The goal of the game is to score as many points as possible. Below you will find the detailed rules and several variants.
Cards and Values:
OH HELL is played with standard playing cards.The cards have the usual values: 2 through 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. Trump cards are higher in value.
Preparation
- All players receive 10 cards by default in the first round.
- The trump suit is determined.
Gameplay
- At the start of each round, every player indicates how many tricks they think they will take.
- The dealer is not allowed to bid in such a way that the sum of all bids equals the total number of cards dealt.
E.g., if there are 3 players and 7 cards are dealt, and Player 1 bids 2 while Player 2 bids 3, Player 3 (the dealer) cannot bid 2 (7 - 2 - 3). - The player to the left of the dealer leads the trick by playing a card.
- The other players must follow suit (Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs) if possible.
- If a player does not have the led suit, they may play any other card; playing a trump card is optional.
- Once all players have played a card, the winner of the trick is the player with the highest card.
- When playing with multiple decks (double deck), identical cards may occur; in this case, the first played card wins.
- The trick winner leads the next trick.
