Each round starts with a different number of cards. Bid how many tricks you think you can take, then try to hit your bid exactly.
Each trick is worth 1 point, and making your bid earns a 10-point bonus. Miss your bid and you only score the tricks you won. Nil bids, trump rules, and changing hand sizes make every round feel different.

Built for comfortable play
Classic Oh Hell is designed for quick games and repeated play, with clear cards, smooth controls, adjustable speed, score tracking, hand review and completed-hand replays.
Play offline anytime — no internet, no sign-up, just Oh Hell.

Ratings and reviews

Previous app "Contract Whist" stopped working (Android) after years of enjoyment. Was surprised that I ended up likithis one enough to purchase, but I play a lot. Only odd thing I noticed is that, if you have a hand dealt, then exit, then go back on later, it deals a new hand, different from the one you had.

The interface is good, and the mechanics of gameplay seem solid. I appreciate the various options for rules and game play. I wish there was an option for zero points if you miss your bid. I wish there was an option for simultaneous (blind) bidding, still with "screw the dealer". The algorithm for the computer players is okay but not great, even at the hard level, for both bidding and card selection.

very enjoyable. Easy to jump right in. Plays just like the real game. Your opponents make sensible moves. I love the option at the end of each hand to replay it. I don't use it to cheat. I love the strategy in seeing how I could do things differently in the hand to make my bid, especially a high bid. This really forces you to think outside the box to reach that bid goal. I like the flexibility allowed in the settings. The banner ad at the bottom is not distracting.
