Minnesota whist is a simplified version of whist in which there are no trumps, and the goal of the game is to take 7 of the 13 tricks. Four-handed whist is played with two teams. The players of each team sit opposite each other at the table. One person is elected to keep score. Typically the scorer's team is labeled as "Us" and the other team labeled as "Them". In this game, the ace is high. This style of whist is sometimes referred to as Norwegian Whist as it has been passed forward to the Upper Midwest by Norwegian immigrants. ==Order of Play== # Everyone cuts the deck and high card is dealer. # Cards are dealt one at a time starting with the person to the left of the dealer and moving clockwise until all cards are dealt. Each person should have 13 cards. # Each person analyzes his/her hand and determines whether to "pass" or "grand". If a player wants to "grand" (play high), he lays down a nondescript black card; otherwise, he lays a red card. # After all 4 players have laid down their cards, players flip up their cards in turn, starting with the person just left of the dealer. # As soon as a black card is flipped up, no one else has to flip their card up. # If any cards are black (called a "Grand Hand"), the goal is to take as many tricks (at least 7) as possible. # If all cards are red (sometimes called a "Nula Hand"), the goal is to take as few tricks (6 or fewer) as possible. # Play begins with the person to the left of the person who granded or, if playing low, the person to the left of the dealer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minnesota whist」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
