Spades

Bidding: All players bid the number of tricks they expect to take. Players play in Partnerships: the bids by each member of the partnership are added together. Playing: Spades are trump in this game. A trick is won by the player who played the highest value sard. If one or more trumps were played, the highest trump card wins, otherwise the highest card of the suit led wins. You must follow suit if you can, otherwise any card can be played. A player may not lead Spades until a Spade has been played to trump another trick.
