About the game
Minnesota whist is a simplified version of whist in which there are no trumps, and the goal is to take seven or more 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.
Minnesota whist is also known as Norwegian whist, as it was brought to the Upper Midwest by Norwegian immigrants.Information from Marquoir’s game database, which cross-checks several open sources. Spotted a mistake? Write to us from the Contact page.
