In this Play-in Games tutorial, we cover everything you need to know to play a full game of Oh Hell (aka Oh Well, Oh Heck, Blackout, Mormon Bridge, or any other regional euphemism you’re using to hide your rage). You’ll learn: • The object of the game (spoiler: it’s predicting your own failure) • The changing hand size each round • How the “Devil Suit” works • Bidding rules (and the cruel mechanic that ensures at least one loser per round) • Scoring, with 10-point bonuses and tactical heartbreak • Two gameplay modes: Redemption and Damnation • Winning strategies (including the best way to mess with your opponents) Oh Hell is a game of perfect bids, clever sacrifice, and Schadenfreude.
