Calypso (card game)

Calypso is a card game originally devised by Mr R. W. Willis of Trinidad about 1953 and revised, with his approval, by British international bridge player Kenneth Konstam shortly after.

It is played by four players in partnerships, with partners sitting opposite each other. It uses four standard 52-card packs shuffled together.

A game consists of four deals, each player dealing in turn. At the start, each player is assigned a different trump suit, which stays the same throughout the game.
