I remember playing this game in Nigeria. Can someone please tell me what the rules are again?

Thanks

"It is reported that Whot! has become the national card game of Nigeria, and that cards are also made locally for the game."

Rules Of Nigerian Whot: http://pagat.com/com/whot.html#nigerian

I used to play whot. But i obviously didn't know wat i was doing then. My cousins play it.. Omg, i remember. I remember general market, I need a something, Hold on, Suspension, star, triangle, cross.. and soo much more.

i love that game to death. i went to nigeria, before i came back to america, i bought 2 packs to come  home with. i still got it. too bad my bredrens & sistrens can't play it. no one can beat me in that game_{..well maybe not}!!! any objections? i have no one to play it with..

Thanks Seun, and everyone else. I might just see if I should develop an online whot game....If I can find the time, that is....

Thanks

i really loved playing whot when i was in Nigeria the rules i remember is pick three, pick two, last card and then you say check up at the end .

I love that game too! I especially enjoy it when we are like 3 or 4 playing it. Semi last card...Last card..Check up! Does anybody remember the game Jackpot too?

@ababoy1

That will be very good. I love that game to death. Holla if you need any help developing the game. _Hopefully, i can squeeze out time to help.

IAH:

itz a good way to keep yourself busy

one of the rule if you play your last card without calling last card you will be penelised for it<< take 3 card along with ur card for not calling last card, it think something like that

thats a link to the rules for playing whot! Hey who knows where I can buy this game, I live in Atlanta, GA I would really love to get a deck, and also ludo, I think I may buy Uno to suffice for now, but I would really love to get a deck of Whot!

did any one ever play the part where u'll have to hide one or two cards in ur chair or in ur shoes? that was was the most crazy part of it. after playing for two hours or more, u find out that some one has been making some collections

Itz a rule but itz not actually compulsory

Hi,
I think of myself as the best player that ever played the game. For those who are thinking of developing the game on line, I would like to know if I can make any financial contribution or investment to facilitate it.
I haven't played this game in 16 years and still believe I am on top of my game. I can still humble any of you young people.
God bless Nanjaland.

back in d day, i played 'whot wiv my friends n it was d best 2 keep us busy in boadin skool. Hopefully, when i go to Nigeria, i will remember to play it again _{kool memory man}

sad to say, i still play it alone , me alone, i love tht game mehn,
general market, pick 3, pick 2,

I had already developed a whot game since 2004.
But I am working on a mobile edition with bluetooth multiplayer connectivity
Anybody interested?

Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!

I was wandering if anyone could tell me if it is allowed to block pick two and pick three. And with what cards. I was thinking it was the whot card (20) but i'm not sure.

Thanks

If you own a blackberry, you can download the demo game for your blackberry at www.wotcard.net

It seems some of the rules have changed now o.

MODERN RULES OF WHOT



YOU DARE NOT END YOUR GAME WITHOUT CALLING 'LAST CARD' (SOME COC.KY ONES ACTUALLY CALL THEIR LAST TWO CARDS WITH A SEMI)

8 IS SUSPENSION

1 IS HOLD ON

2 IS PICK TWO (CAN BE BLOCKED WITH ANOTHER 2) - IF YOU GIVE ME PICK 2 AND I BLOCK WITH MY OWN 2 THEN THE NEXT PLAYER WILL HAVE TO EITHER BLOCK HIS OWN OR "PICK FOUR CARDS" . . . THE MULTIPLICATION PROGRESSES AND IN FEW OCCASIONS AN ERRING PLAYER ACTUALLY PICKS UP TO EIGHT CARDS

14 IS GENERAL MARKET

NO MORE JOKER (I NEED ?) . . . ITS RESERVED FOR KIDS BELOW THE AGE OF 15 TO PLAY WITH

ONCE MARKET IS FINISHED ALL PLAYERS MUST 'TENDER' THEIR CARDS FOR FINAL COUNTING TO ASSESS THE WINNER OF THE ROUND (NO MORE TURNING THE PLAYED STACK UP SIDE DOWN TO REPRESENT A NEW GENERAL MARKET)

STANDARD WAY OF BEGINING THE ROUND IS BY 'CUTTING' THE CARD INTO TWO PARTS . . . THE MARKET AND THE ACTUAL STARTING CARD PIECES TO BE SHARED TO ALL THE PARTICIPATING PLAYERS

HIDING CARDS IS LEGAL . . . SO FAR AS YOU DO NOT GET CAUGHT DURING THE ROUND (I.E, ITS ONLY LEGAL TO BRING OUT HIDDEN CARDS BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ROUND)

Hurraayyyyyy!!!!!! You can now play whot on your blackberry or nokia for free just follow links below

Whot. Memories...

I need help ok

Is it possible to cancel a Joker Whot Card .i.e. 20 with another Joker Card, like for example, segun plays a 20 and says he wants circle, and I'm immediately after him, can I now block it by playing another 20 on top because I don't have the circle he's requesting for. Help!

Yes, that is legal

briscola and Tressette are classic card games that originated in Italy but they are also very popular in Mediterranean countries like Croatia, Slovenia, Spain, and Portugal.
