Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive compilation of the origins and development of Whist, a game that evolved from obscure beginnings to become the card game of choice in civilised life. The author traces the game's history, discussing its early association with tricksters and gamblers. As Whist distanced itself from its tarnished past, it gained popularity in society, and the game's mechanics and rules were codified to create what is now known as modern Whist. The book also examines the game's great players, and the fascinating stories that surround their prowess at the table. A must read for Whist enthusiasts and those interested in games, this book offers a wealth of information, anecdotes, and insights into the history of our national card game. It concludes by shedding light on the factors that shaped Whist's evolution into the popular and enduring game it is today.
