Whot! is a card game played with a set of non-standard cards in five suits: circles, crosses, triangles, stars and squares. It is a shedding game similar to Crazy Eights. Whot! was invented (but, apparently, not patented) and trademarked by William Henry Storey, of Southend-on-Sea, England in 1935. It was first marketed by the company Storey & Co of Croydon, which he set up in 1930, but was soon after acquired by Waddingtons of Leeds, and was popular in Britain in the 1950's and 1960's. Waddingtons continued to sell it until the 1990's; nowadays it is distributed by Winning Moves UK in their Top Cards series.

Whot! has become the national card game in both the UK and Nigeria.
