Has anyone ever played Whist

I've been generously invited to a wonderful game of whist this evening. What should I expect? What is this game? Are there any strategies I should know.

I’ve played Bridge, which I believe is almost the same in the playing, except whist does not involve bidding for contracts, and there is no Dummy in Whist.
In short, I believe you will find Whist to be much like Spades.

Old ladies in hats and stinky perfume?

Usually the way it is in Bridge. But there is something wrong with a society in which Bridge is not widely played. It is extraordinarily fun to play - sort of like poker for intelligent people.

An old lady will be the host, but at the party there will be quite the cast. There is a narcotics officer, a professional musician, a stoner/artist/teacher, a lady that does accounting work for a sorority. A caterer and myself the cheese enthusiast. I might have to find a spectacle and a top hat.

Sounds like the beginning of a murder mystery

I think there's usually a fish bowl and everyone throws their keys in.

I thought you spelled Risk with a speech impediment.

I've wanted to learn this game since reading the Horatio Hornblower series. Absolutely fantastic book series.

Horatio Hornblower will likely be in attendance

So it is basically spades. However the trump suit changes every round. You move around from table to table. We played 16 rounds.
You start with a home table. That is your team. There are a set of instructions on your home table. You have a color and that is how the instructions are based. 2 people will always be at the home table. If you win the round you get a bead. Everyone brings that back to their home table. Then you check the instructions on who is going to go where on the next round. At the end of all rounds count the beads and that team won
Kind of hard to explain but super simple once you figure it out.
Basically spades with a team of 4 and instructions on where to sit each round and what the trump card is.
It was a success. Will probably do it again. Free food and beverages at our friends mom's house. (She loves to entertain) There was a nice mix of age groups.

TulaneLSU is undoubtedly wistful of evenings spent playing Whist whilst family members regaled him of family history.

Did Hornblower bring Bush with him for the free food?

The narcotics officer has gotten the boot. Was cheating on his wife. He no longer gets to hang out with the cool kids. Hope he catches gonnorhea and had the shits too. They have a kid together. It was always weird smoking weed around him and that time we had to confront him not to drive home drunk after drinking 10 natty ice lemonades (not fricking lying). It is really hard for me to believe. Very attractive woman, great extended family, and plenty of money.
