Bid Whist Demo

Card games are a great way to spend time with your friends, especially since they encourage you to socialize and have some fun at the same time. However, it may not always be possible to meet up with your friends, or you might feel like playing when they are not available. Computers are a great way to compensate for human companionship, as everyone knows, which is why they can be of use in such situations.

Bid Whist is actually a popular variant of whist, one which allows you to bid as well, in order to make the matches more interesting. Hence, the game evolves as it usually does, except for the fact that you get to place a few make-believe tokens as a bet whenever a new round starts. It may not be as exciting and intricate as poker, but it can do the trick just as well.

Since this specific card game is usually played in four players in order to form teams of two, there are three computer players filling the other places, one of which is your team mate. Speaking of which, the A.I. is pretty well programmed and it should be able to keep up with you, although you should not expect anything too great or clever.

To avoid getting bored along the way, the game provides you with the ability to change the skins and the model on the back of the cards. There are many different sets provided out of the box, all of which can change the experience and provide you with something new to look at while you play. They might not be too detailed, but they get the point across.

This is mainly because the game does not really have too much of a graphics engine to talk about, given the very simple appearances. There are some basic animations to brighten the spirits, but most of the interface is text-based and not a lot of thought went into it. Almost every word is written in a different color and the main window comes with a pretty annoying background, which can be heavy on the eyes.

All things considered, if you are not much of a gamer and you would like to engage in a bit of card playing every now and again, Bid Whist can do the job just as well. However, there are better alternatives out there, especially when it comes to presentation and visual style.
