What is "knock out whist"?
Knock out whist is a trick-taking card game typically played by four players using a standard 52-card deck. The game is played in a series of rounds, with players aiming to win as many tricks as possible in each round. In the first round, all players receive an equal number of cards, and the dealer sets a trump suit. Players take turns playing cards, with the highest card in the leading suit or trump suit winning the trick. After each round, the player who wins the fewest tricks is "knocked out" and eliminated from the game. The remaining players continue playing until only one player is left, who is declared the winner.
