Caledon Whist League

The Caledon Whist League was founded on 28 November 2007 by Virrginia Tombola and Valentine Janus, at the Coaching House in Caledon Eyre. Other participants in the first game that led to the league's founding were Otenth Paderborn and Trevor Rowlands.
The League promotes the play of whist, an ancestor of contemporary bridge. It was one of the most popular and widespread card games in 19th century society. The form favored in Caledon is short whist to 5 points up, without honours, and with the trump suit rotating cyclically on each deal--hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades--instead of turning up the 52nd card. (This last feature, from modern progressive whist, overcomes a Second Life limitation.)
On 30 December 2007, Octagon House published a beginning whist book by League member Myfi Lundquist entitled A Western Woman's Way of Whist.
