If multiple spades are played in a particular round, the winner is the player with the highest-ranked spade. A player can only lead with a spade if they don't have anything left in their hand but spades. The player who wins the round gathers up all the cards and puts them face down in front of them.
The winning player gets to go first next turn. Each pile is kept separate from the others. This way, players get to count the number of tricks taken.
The contents of each trick can't be viewed except to determine if a player reneged. The number of tricks a player has won cannot be concealed. In other words, if a player asks another player what the number of tricks they earned is, the player must count out their tricks until everyone agrees on the trick count. Play continues until all players have exhausted all their cards.
If a team wins as many tricks as its bid called for, it "makes its contract. Overtricks tricks that are won over the bid amount are worth an extra point each. For example, if the player's bid is eight and they earn eight tricks, the score would be If the bid was four and they won seven tricks, they would score 43 — 40 points for the bid and three points for the three overtricks.
If a team doesn't make its bid, they lose 10 points for each trick under the bid amount. This is called "breaking contract. When using this rule, overtricks are also known as "bags. This makes exactly meeting the bid amount the object of the game.
The team that gets to points first wins the game. If both sides reach points in a single deal, the side with the higher score wins. There's also a version where a team automatically loses if their score is points.
Yet another way to play is to set a specified time limit. Now that you know all the rules, put all that knowledge to the test by playing the Spades card game online now!
This variant inspired by the game of Hearts doesn't let a player lead with spades until a spade has already been played to trump another card. This rule prevents a player who has an abundance of spades from leading with one spade after another at the beginning of a hand. This can become tedious after a while. In this variation, the dealer deals the first four cards to each player face up. This forces players to try to remember the other players' cards, which adds an interesting strategic element to the game.
In this variation, a player bids that they'll win 10 rounds. If they successfully do this, they get points.
If they don't, they lose points. If you choose this variation, each player must bid the exact number of spade cards they have. For example, if someone has five spades, their bid would be five.
If a player doesn't have any spades, their bid must be zero. Players add two Jokers to the game to spice things up, and jokers become the trump cards. The full-color joker typically outranks the monochromatic joker. If you play this variation, remove both the two of clubs and diamonds to keep the card count at exactly In this variant, the total bid for each team must equal exactly seven. An additional rule with this variation is that no player can bid less than two.
The player holding the lowest club leads the first round and leads with that card. The two of clubs is the lowest club card unless you count an ace as one instead of eleven. This is a bold bid to win all 13 rounds. If a team manages to do this, they earn points.
If they fail, they get points deducted from their score. There's also a variation that a successful Boston bid wins the entire game. With Little Bemo, your team bids that they'll win the first six tricks. You score 60 points if you're successful but lose 60 points if you're not. With Big Bemo, your team bids that it will win the first nine tricks. You'll score a point bonus if you succeed. It must be corrected and, if a defender, the revoke card becomes a Major Penalty card.
The player after the revoker can change their card without penalty information about the card withdrawn is Authorised for the non offending side but unauthorised for the offending side : if they do then the partner of the revoker can change their card - but the original one remains a major penalty card. If the revoke IS established then there may be an automatic trick adjustment - this does not happen if the card that was used to revoke was already visible i.
Law 64 B. If the revoke card won the trick - this almost always means that it trumped in the trick although it could be that a player was required to lead a suit because of a previous infraction and failed to do so when they could - then THAT trick is transferred over to the other side. Finally there are some situations where the non-offending side are not adequately compensated for the effects of the revoke - in which case the Tournament Director restores Equity.
In summary - when attention is drawn to a revoke- call the director! Do not accept or agree to any statement made by the opponents as to the correct rectification.

Add a comment. Declarer Plays too Fast. Who plays next if Declarer plays a card from his hand and Dummy at the same time? A defender is not subject to penalty for playing before his partner if Declarer has played from both hands. A singleton in Dummy does not count as automatically being played by Declarer. Usually Declarer plays both cards at once because they don't care what you play at all. Ok in friendly games but a big no-no otherwise.
A defender's withdrawn card becomes a 'major penalty card'. Otherwise, after play is over: If the revoke trick was won by the offending player , that trick plus 1 of any subsequent tricks won by the offending side is awarded. If the offending side doesn't win a trick after the revoke, only the 1 revoke trick is awarded. So it's not automatically 'two tricks'. If the revoke trick was won by the offender's partner , that trick is awarded.
This also applies if Declarer revokes but Dummy wins the trick. If the revoke trick was won by the other side , then 1 of any subsequent tricks won by the offending side is awarded.
If the offending side doesn't win the revoke trick or any subsequent trick, then no tricks are awarded. Revokes on the 12th trick are merely corrected and there is no penalty applied since the cards are now put back and played out exactly as they should have been. There is no penalty if Dummy revokes.
Dummy Calls a Revoke. When a revoke occurs it can be corrected 'Until the offender or his partner plays to the Next Trick'. Once play to the next trick happens, the revoke is 'established' and a penalty will come into play. The revoke should be called immediately.
In a friendly game do whatever you like - usually correct it and keep on going. For more serious games, correct it and apply a penalty. In organized games, call the director. How much scoring credit do we get for revoke tricks? The offenders award you the revoke plus another trick that they won after the revoke. You get 90 below the line and 30 above the line for the extra trick. You can't get game since you didn't bid game.
Each part must contain 4 cards for it to be legal but it's considered bad sportmanship to cut so few. The dealer completes the cut in Bridge. There must be a new shuffle and cut if a card is faced during cutting or dealing. Mathematically, you should shuffle the cards at least 5 times to ensure proper mixing and randomness.
Good etiquette dictates you Stop Shufffling! Passing out of Turn. Someone Passes not a bid when it's not their turn. What happens? Otherwise the Pass is cancelled. If no one has bid, the offender must Pass at their next turn only. If it was RHO's turn to bid, they do so, and the offender must Pass at their next turn only.
If it was Partner's turn to bid, partner can bid but may not Double and the offender must Pass every time. If your side defends, partner can be prohibited from leading any 1 suit at their first chance to lead and if they retain the lead. Bidding out of Turn. Someone Bids not a pass when it's not their turn.
Otherwise the bid is cancelled and If it was RHO's turn to bid, and they Pass, you must repeat your bid and nothing happens. If RHO bids, and you repeat your bid again, partner must Pass once no lead penalty.
