The dealer deals the cards until all the players have 13 cards. The last card which belongs to the dealer is turned
face up and subsequently the suit on that card is called the trump suit for that hand. That card remains turned up until it is the dealer's turn to play the first hand
or trick of the game.
Traditionally you have to decks of playing cards during whist, one deck is for the next hand and it is shuffled by the dealer's partner and kept to the dealer's right.
Once the first hand is over the deck is just passed to the next person for the deal.
This is not necessary for the play of Whist, it just speeds the process of dealing.
The person to the left of the dealer is playing the first trick. Any card may be played at this time. The rest of the players, in a clockwise direction, plays a card to the trick.
Now the players must play the same suit as the card that was led in the trick, if they can. If you can't play the same suit, you may use any card. Now if a trump suit card is thrown in, then the highest trump would win, but if no trump card then the high card of the suit wins the trick.
