Quickfire Rules:
German Whist is divided into two sections: the Foreplay and the Endgame. During the foreplay, players select cards from their hand in order to win or lose cards turned over from the main deck. In the endgame, they play their resulting hands against each other to win tricks.
A card is beaten either by a higher card of the same suit, or any Trump card. Once a card is played, other players must play a card from the same suit. If they do not hold any cards from this suit, they may choose to Trump, or Throw Away by playing any non-trump card.
One point is scored for every trick a player wins over six in ‘Last 13’ scoring, or every trick over 13 in ‘Every Trick’ scoring mode.
