Before starting a round, each player will need to bid the number of tricks they will take. It can be from 0 to And your bid and your partner's bid are added together. Each team will need to take that number of tricks to get more points and win. Unlike other bidding games, Spades' game doesn't require the player to bid higher than the number of bids that the last player has taken.
Be smart as you bid. The game uses the standard 52 card pack. After bidding, the cards will be shuffled and dealt. Each player will start with 13 cards from this pack. The card rank in each suit is: A highest , K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Playing Spades. Each player hands out a card on a table.
The card needs to have the same suit as the person who started. If you don't have any cards of the same suit yet, you can play any card. The special thing about this game is that if you play a spade card and there are no higher spade cards than yours in the trick, you will win that trick.
Besides, if there are no cards that have the same suit as the first card, the first person will win that trick. The winner of that trick will be the first to play in the next round.
The score of each trick will depend on the total bets of you and your partner. You can also bet nill, which is a very special case of the games. If you win zero tricks, you will gain a staggering amount of points. However, if you are unable to fulfill your bid, your partner can do so for you you can win three tricks and your partner can win five, for a total of eight tricks.
But if both of you cannot get to the total number of bids, your team will lose 10 points for each bid. So if both of you bid 5, and get 4 tricks, your team lose 50 points. But beware the fact that you will gain the same number of bags equal to the points. Your bid and your partners are then added together and this is the number of tricks your team must take. Play begins with the player to the dealer's left leading a card.
The highest card in that suit wins the trick. Now for the tricky part and the reason the game is calls Spades. If you are out of the lead suit, you can play any card you like. If you play a Spade and no one else does, you win the trick. So Spades are trump cards. In this case the highest Spade wins.
The game does not allow ties for first place. In the case of a tie for first, the game will continue until there is a clear winner. This is true of both games ending at a point value and timed games.
Tricks count ten points each for a partnership if the contract is made, and ten against if it is set.
