Event Name:
Military Whist Game Night
Description
The Women's Club of Madison invites you to a Military Whist Game Night!

Whist itself is a trick-taking card game that dates back to the 17th century. It was widely popular in England and eventually evolved into various regional variations. The basic premise of Whist revolves around players trying to win "tricks" by playing higher-ranked cards than their opponents, and it became one of the most popular card games in Europe by the 18th and 19th centuries.
The variant known as "Military Whist" gained popularity in the military circles of the 19th century, particularly among British officers. While Whist was already a common pastime, this version was adapted to be faster-paced and better suited to the unpredictable schedules of soldiers. It was ideal for playing in short bursts, making it perfect for downtime during long marches or in between battles.
The game became associated with camaraderie and social bonding among soldiers, fostering teamwork and friendly rivalry during their off-duty hours. As a result, it was widely played in military barracks, regimental gatherings, and even in officers' clubs.
Whether you're a seasoned card player or new to the game, this is the perfect opportunity to enjoy an evening of friendly competition, great company, and community spirit.

Don't miss out on the chance to play this classic card game in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Come for the game, stay for the fun! We hope to see you there!
