![]() It can be any heart, diamond or club, but no spades. Playing SpadesĪfter all of the bidding is done, the player to the dealers left begins by playing any card EXCEPT for a spade. There's also a penalty for bidding nil and getting 1 or more tricks. Why would anyone do that though? Well, there's a huge bonus if you can bid nil and succeed. This is basically a player trying NOT to win any tricks. Billy and Sarah's goal is to win at least 5 tricks based on their bids (4+1), Terrance and Beyonce will attempt to win at least 7 (4+3).Īs mentioned previously, a bid of zero is also called a nil bid. A bid of zero or "nil" is another strategy we'll talk about shortly. But be smart and remember that it's very difficult to get all or even half of the tricks. Bidding then continues clockwise around the table. The first player to bid is the person to the left of the dealer. This is the number of tricks that team has to win in order to get a positive score. The teams then add together the total number of bids. Before each round of Spades begins, each player will bid (or guess) how many tricks they will take. Biddingīidding is simply guessing how many "tricks" you can take. The dealer will deal out all of the cards so each player will end up with 13 to start. The goal is to accumulate points, and the first to 500 points wins. You are on the same team as the person across from you and the same goes for the other two. When a team reaches 10 points of bags, they receives a penalty of one hundred points and the points of bags are reset.In a typical game, there are four players and two team. If the team can't get the the amount of tricks they've bet (contract), they receives the amount of tricks of the contract multiplied by -10 (minus ten), adding so a negative score. If the contract is fulfilled by the team, this team receives 10 points for each trick won and 1 point for each bag. The game proceeds normally up to a team reaches 100 points. If no team has reached 100 points, 13 cards are dealt to each player again and each player from every team must make new bids in order to start a new game. After 13 hands, players have no cards remaining on their hands, then the points are counted. The winning player of the hand wins a trick. ![]() ![]() If the suit of spades has not been led, the highest card of the first suit that has been led is the winner card.

If any player doesn't have a card of this suit, they may play any card. Players in clockwise fashion then play a card of their choice they must follow the suit led by the first player.
