Dummy whist is one of many variants of the classic trick-taking card game Whist. The general rules of dummy whist are similar to that of bid whist, with two notable exceptions. Bid whist is played by four players, whereas dummy whist is played by only three.[1] Secondly, instead of dealing a kitty, a dummy hand is dealt to be on the team of the player who wins the auction.
