description Solo Whist Overview
Solo Whist is a four-player British trick-taking game derived from Whist and played with a standard 52-card deck. Instead of maintaining fixed partnerships, players bid for contracts that may require one bidder to play alone against the other three or may set unusual trick-taking objectives. The bidding structure, including contracts such as Solo and Misère, distinguishes it from partnership Whist.
