Play Oh Hell online — exact-bid trick-taking with video chat.
Oh Hell (sometimes called Oh Pshaw, Blackout, or just "Bid") is the most underrated trick-taking game in the deck. The whole game is built around a single brutal rule: you have to bid your tricks exactly. Off by one in either direction and you score zero.
It is the easiest of the four games to learn, the easiest to scale (anywhere from 2 to 12 players), and the one your non-card-playing relatives will pick up fastest. That is why we built Family Time around it as a hero game.
On Family Time, the table shows a live bid-vs-tricks chip so everyone can see whether the round is over- or under-bid — a small touch that makes the math approachable for kids and grandparents alike.
