The highest “trump” (suit card) in the game wins the “trick,” and if no-one plays a trump then the highest card value (number) of the suit that the first player leads with will be the winner. The player on the left-hand side of the dealer must place the first card, and the rest of your group will need to follow his or her lead if they can. The next card after the deal is turned face-up on the table, and it becomes the “trump” suit. To play Knockout Whist, start by dealing 7 cards to each player, beginning with the person on your list. In Knockout whist, the Ace is a high number. You’ll need a single 52-card deck to play.
