Spades

Play as a team and guess how many tricks you'll win.

Players: 4.

2 teams of 2. Each person sits across from their teammate.
Spades are always the trump suit.
Each hand, the entire deck is dealt out. 13 cards to each player.
Each player bids how many tricks they think they will take. Teammate’s bids are combined.
Breaking spades: Within a hand, spades cannot be played as lead suit until at least one spade has already been played.
End-of-hand scoring:
- If team’s bid is met or exceeded: +10×[bid]
- If team’s bid is not met: -10×[bid]
- For each trick taken in excess of team bid: +1 point and +1 bag:
  - Bags accumulate across hands.
  - Every 7th bag results in -100 points.
- Special case: If a player bids 0
  - Any tricks that player earns are counted as bags instead of contributing to their teams total.
  - If that player takes exactly 0 tricks, their team earns +100 points
- Shooting the Moon: If a team bids 13 and succeeds, they earn +200 points instead of +130
First team to 300 points wins.
