How to play

  1. Four players in two partnerships (partners sit opposite), 13 cards each.
  2. Everyone bids how many tricks they'll take; partners' bids add up to the team's contract. A bid of 0 is nil.
  3. Follow suit if you can. Spades are always trump and can't be led until one has been played.
  4. Make your contract for 10 points per trick bid, plus 1 per extra trick (a bag); fall short and lose 10 per trick.
  5. Nil is worth 100 if the bidder takes no tricks. Every 10 bags cost 100. First team to 500 wins.
