Rules of the game

Belote - Bridge - President - Whist

In my four programs, the rules of the game (Belote, Bridge, President, Whist) are explained in some help pages, all in English. Moreover, a great number of example deals (accessible by the Examples menu) describe the various rules from concrete situations. But you might prefer to understand the basic principle of a game before downloading it. If so, the pages below should help you to make a good start :

Belote

Bridge (and Minibridge)

President

Elevator Whist

These pages describe only the basic principle of each game. They do not explain in detail the scoring rules or the rule variations. So, they are especially written for a person who knows nothing at all about the game and wants to quickly learn to play.
