Ah .. that's what they got up to. Never could handle the adult whist just the knock out.

Easy: Thirteen cards each, trump card was chosen by splitting the pack.

Hands went down and you had to follow suit and beat the number, Ace being high. If you did twas your win. If you had none of that particular suit, could throw a card of a different suit away, but lost of course. As a trump card always won over the other three suits, the only skill involved was whether to leave these 'til later and throw away a hand earlier. Course the person who had the most number of hands won.

Easy-peasy, but good fun.
