Solo Whist was first played in the Low Countries in the first half of the 19th century and in England somewhere about the year 1852 by a family of Dutch Jews. From 1870 and 1872 it began to be played in the London sporting clubs in an attempt to supplant the card games formerly in vogue. Solo Whist derives from an early variety of Boston Whist. The game is still very popular in Britain, Australia and New Zealand and is also especially popular within the Jewish community everywhere.
