Learn Oh Hell, one trick at a time.

Your Oh Hell practice hand.

Your two cards are the ace of spades and the 2 of hearts. Spades are trump. In this example you bid one, follow hearts with your low card, then use your ace of trump when clubs are led. You finish with exactly one trick and score 11 points.

The Oh Hell tutorial uses fixed cards so you can concentrate on the rules. Real hands are shuffled, and opponents can change how a prediction works out.

Three things to remember at the table.

1. Call your target before you play. Zero is a valid bid; it means you want to lose every trick.
2. Follow the first suit if you have it. A trump is not a shortcut around this rule.
3. Keep checking your target. Once you have enough tricks, winning another can cost the exact-bid bonus.

From a practice lesson to a whole game.

The full Oh Hell rules explain the dealer restriction and changing hand sizes. For help choosing your next bid, try the beginner strategy guide. Playing with a physical deck? Use the score sheet to keep track.

The practice lesson covers legal moves and an exact bid, not every house rule or an ideal strategy. Revisit a decision at your own pace, or go straight to the table using the navigation. Completing this Oh Hell tutorial does not replace your saved game or add a result to your statistics.
