Reneging occurs when a player does not play the same suit as the lead card when the player has that suit in his/her hand. Reneging is not allowed in Bid Whist Challenge. When a player reneges, a warning message comes on that says "You are about to renege. You have a 100% chance of being caught. Continue?" You click on "yes" or "no." If you click "yes" the penalty is the loss of three books.
