How to play

Goal

Make your partnership's bid while managing extra tricks and bags.

What does a bid mean?: A bid predicts how many tricks you expect to take. partners' bids combine into one contract.
Which card must I play?: Follow the suit led when able. otherwise you may discard or play a Spade.
How do Spades win tricks?: Any Spade beats a non-Spade. among Spades, the highest wins. Without a Spade, the highest card of the led suit wins.
When may Spades lead?: Spades normally cannot lead until someone has played a Spade on another suit, unless the leader holds only Spades.
How is the contract scored?: The partnership must take at least its combined bid. falling short is costly, while overtricks become bags.
Why avoid too many extra tricks?: Overtricks score small points but accumulate bags, which eventually trigger a penalty.
