description Oh Hell Overview
Oh Hell is a progressive trick-taking card game in which players must accurately predict the exact number of tricks they will win during each round. Played with a standard 52-card deck, the game begins by dealing one card to each player and increases by one card per subsequent round, before eventually decreasing back down. It is a classic American card game where successful scoring depends entirely on matching the exact number of tricks bid rather than simply winning the most.
