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. Bags, or tricks won in excess of the contract, count as one point each. A side which over several deals accumulates ten or more bags has points deducted from its score. Any bags beyond ten are carried over to the next cycle of ten overtricks - that is if they reached twenty overtricks they would lose another points and so on.
Example: Suppose a team whose score is bids 5 tricks and they have 7 bags carried over from the previous rounds. If they win 7 tricks they score 52, taking their score to and their bags to 9. If they win 9 tricks they score 54 and lose , bringing their score to If a bid of nil is successful, the nil bidder's side receives points.
This is in addition to the score won or lost by the partner of the nil bidder for tricks made. If a bid of nil fails - that is, the bidder takes at least one trick - the bidder's side loses points, but still receives any amount scored for the partner's bid.
When a nil fails, the tricks won by the nil bidder do not count towards making the partner's bid, but do count as bags for the team. The side which reaches points first wins the game.
If both sides reach points in a single deal, the side with the higher score wins. This online version of the classic card game Spades was made by me.
My name is Einar Egilsson and over there on the left is my current Facebook profile picture! Spades is very similar to an Icelandic game I used to play, called 'Kani'. It is the first game I've done where there's any kind of team play going on, which made it interesting to write. I hope I've made your partner, Bill , smart enough that it's not annoying to play with him :.
