How to play Spades
Bid how many tricks you'll win, then hit your bid — spades always beat every other suit.
Calling a bold Nil bid and somehow dodging every trick delivers one of the game's most nerve-wracking payoffs.
- On your turn to bid, pick a number 0-13 (0 is a risky "Nil" bid)
- During play, tap a card of the led suit if you have one
- Spades can't be led until one has already been played in an earlier trick
💡 Going over your bid still scores, but every extra trick adds a "bag" — bags add up fast, so don't run wild.
💡 Save your high spades for later tricks rather than leading them early, so you can seize control when it matters most.
