Spades is a Trick-Taking Card Game played by two teams of two with a standard 52 card deck. Players sit across from their partner, with each player bidding on the number of tricks they believe they can take, out of 13. Players then play one card at a time, play starting left of the dealer, then being lead by whoever takes the trick. Within each trick, players must follow suit, if possible, and cannot lead spades unless spades have already been played. Each The game’s namesake is the suit, spades, which supersedes any other cards in play for taking tricks. Players must be careful about taking enough and taking what they need. Not taking enough tricks leads to "breaking contract", resulting in 0 points for the player. Excess tricks called "bags" give 1 point, but take away 100 points if you take ten bags.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One of the most popular card games out there, Spades is a great introduction to the trick-taking family of games, due to its simple rules. | |

Death or Glory Attack: Bidding nil requires a player to avoid taking any tricks. If successful, the partners gain a large sum of points (usually 100), but if the player bidding nil takes a single trick, their team loses that sum of points instead. Since games are usually played to 500 points, plus or minus 100 is a really big swing. Blinds are a move where you bid a set amount without looking at your cards to gauge potential scoring. (Blind 7 and Blind Nil being the most common variants.) Pulling it off gives you double points (a Blind 7 gives you 140 points). Failing loses you double points. A Blind Nil (betting you win zero tricks) is +/-200 points, but is particularly hard to pull off, especially since there is one unbeatable card (Ace of Spades, Deuce of Spades or Big Joker, depending on what rules variant you're using) and its presence in your hand will instantly sink your attempt. | |

Action Initiative: The first bid and trick of a hand rotates clockwise from the last person to have said role. Turns after the first of a hand are led by the player who took the previous trick. | |
