How to play Spades
- Play in two teams (partners sit across). Each hand every player bids the number of tricks they expect to take, or Nil to take none.
- Spades are always trump. Follow the led suit when you can; you may not lead a spade until one has been played to break them.
- Make your team’s combined bid to score ten per trick; every extra trick is a “bag” worth one point, but ten bags cost you 100.
- A Nil bid scores ±100 for that player alone. First team to 500 wins — fall to −200 and you lose.
