About
The card game you know, at a table that never closes
Whist with Twists is a free online trick-taking game for two, three or four players. It plays like Rung, Court Piece, Hokm and Whist — and adds new rules, called twists, that change how a round can be won.
What it is
Rung (also called Court Piece or Coat Piece), Hokm and Whist are played across South Asia, the Middle East and beyond, usually around a real table with family and friends. Whist with Twists keeps everything those games share — thirteen cards each, a trump called after the first five, follow suit, courts for taking every hand — and puts it in your browser, on any phone or computer, with nothing to install.
On top of the classic game are the twists: Hidden Trump, Undeclared Trump, Double Trick, the Ace Rule, Weapons, and tables for two or three players, which the traditional games do not have. You choose which ones to play before each match. See the twists or read how to play.

How it is free
The game is free to play, for everyone, and always will be. Adverts served by Google pay for it: a banner in the lobby and rewarded videos you can choose to watch for coins. There are no adverts during a hand. Optional purchases are coming soon — starting with Premium, which removes the adverts — and nothing you can buy will ever change the cards you are dealt. How advertising uses data, and how to opt out, is in the Privacy Policy.
Who makes it
Whist with Twists is designed and built by a small team in Lahore, Pakistan, and operated by Corvix Systems LLC, a company registered in Wyoming, United States. We are working on native apps for the App Store and Google Play, with the same account and coins as the web game.
