Oh Hell! - perhaps the most widely played game of the family, played in most English-speaking countries under various names.A couple of bids like this existed in some forms of Boston (Piccolo - to win exactly one trick) and were tried out in Skat and Tarock, but the first game built entirely on the exact bidding principle was Oh Hell!, which according to Parlett was invented around 1930.
In these trick taking games the object is to win exactly the number of tricks that you bid.
