Frequently asked questions

What is Spades?

Spades is a four-player partnership trick-taking game where players bid how many tricks they expect to win. Spades are always trump, and teams score by making their combined contract.

What is a nil bid in Spades?

A nil bid is a promise to win zero tricks. Successful nil is worth 100 points; taking even one trick normally costs 100 points.

Bags are tricks taken beyond a team's contract. Each bag adds one point, but collecting ten bags triggers a 100-point penalty.
