Double Dummy

Is played by two players, each having a Dummy or exposed hand for his partner. The laws of the game do not differ from Dummy Whist, except in the following special law: There is no misdeal, as the deal is a disadvantage.

Footnotes

37 The question “Who dealt?” is irregular, and if asked should not be answered.

38 Or who asks what the trump suit is.

39 i.e. Dummy’s hand. If Dummy’s partner revokes, he is liable to the usual penalties.

40 And the hand proceeds as though the revoke had not been discovered.
