As the years have passed the name has had a few changes until the 18th century when it finally became known as we know it today, WHIST. We play with a standard 52 card pack and play in groups of four people with two partnerships sitting opposite each other. We play for two hours and a cup of tea or coffee is included. It does not matter if you have not played before as the rules are easy to follow and tuition is given. We are a very friendly group and we don’t take it too seriously. The idea is to have a fun afternoon.
