Spades is a partnership bidding game similar to bridge. It's played in a clockwise direction, mostly with two teams of two players sitting opposite each other. The suit of spades is always the highest value suit or trump, and cards are valued from highest to lowest: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.

Each player gets 13 cards.

Bid (if you are the person to the left of the dealer) on the number of tricks - always between 4 and 13 - you estimate you can win. Bid nil or blind nil if you think you cannot win a single trick in the entire round.

Play your lowest club on the first hand, after the holder of the 2 of clubs has led. Discard a heart or diamond if no club is held

Lead the next trick if you won the first, with any card but a spade. Follow suit, but if unable, play any card including a spade.

Play one round or 13 tricks, until all players have no cards remaining in their hands.
