    RULES: link.triplesgames.com/spades
    The object of this 4 player card game is to be the first player to 500 points. The object of each hand is to win at least as many “tricks” as you bid. Setup. Using a standard deck of playing cards, with Aces high, 2s low, and Spades trumping all, each player is given a card from a shuffled deck and who ever receives the highest card becomes the first dealer. If there is a tie, try again. The dealer shuffles and the player to their right cuts the deck. The dealer then deals 13 cards one at a time clockwise to each player. Players look at their own cards but keep them hidden from their opponents.
    After everybody receives their cards, bids are made. A bid refers to the players’ expectation of “tricks” they will make in the round. Normally, all players must make a minimum of 1 bid. A trick is given to the player with the highest card in each round.
    After the bids are made, the dealer lays one card from their hand face up in the center of the table as a lead. Continuing clockwise from the lead, each player places a card down matching the same suit as the lead card. If they do not possess cards of the same suit, they may play any of their cards. The card with the highest rank in the suit that was led, wins the round, winning the trick. Spades are trump, and always rand higher than the other suits. For example, A 3 of spades beats a King of diamonds. The winner of the trick, collects the cards facedown and pouts them to the side, keeping each tricks separate, then leads the next card. This process repeats until all the cards for the hand are played.
    At the end of the hand, points are rewarded to players who made their number of bids. You receive 10 points for each trick made that you bid and 1 bonus point for each trick made over your initial bid. For example, if you big 5 tricks at the start of the round and ended up taking 6 tricks, you would get 50 points for meeting the initial 5 tricks and 1 point for the additional trick. Giving you 51 points for the hand. 0 points are given to players who fail to win the number of tricks they bid.
    If no player has 500 or more points, then role of dealer rotates clockwise by one and another hand is dealt. Keep playing until someone has 500 or more points, then they are the winner.

    (1) If you do not make your bid, you lose the amount you bid: eg, you bid 3 and you only make two, you go negative 30 in the hole. (2) Another twist of the game. When your over tricks add to 10, you lose 100 points.

    Tongans have a similar game but we call it TALAMU and it's played with partners.The dealer rotates left after every hand and Spades are not Trump.But rather a different POWER CARD chosen by the 1st player to the left of dealer that flips a random card whilst cards are being dealt.If a team fails to score a trick and the other team gets to 7 Tricks that's called POKO and your team is kicked out and next awaiting team jumps in.We use to play alot growing up and which ever team had the most consecutive wins had bragging rights.Lastly each round of teams play best of 3

  • @ThisThingEaten

    According to Hoyle, the dealer starts the bidding, and the player to the left of the dealer leads the first trick.
    Also, the goal is not only to reach 500 points, but avoid going below -300 points. 300 points below zero is an automatic loss.
    Lastly, each additional trick taken in excess of the bid not only rewards a single point, but what is known as a "bag." Once a team accumulates ten bags, they lose 100 points. After the hand has finished, that team's bag count is reset to zero.
    EDIT: I forgot to mention that a player may bid nil before even looking at their cards. This is called a "blind nil" or "double nil". Bidding a blind nil doubles the points rewarded or deducted, depending on whether or not the player makes the bid.

    I am confused by this, implying as it does the possibility of there being more than one bid per person. How does that work?
    (Or do you really that the minimum permissible bid is for one trick?)
    ?

  • @captcorajus
    @captcorajus 2 года назад +7

    If you don't make your bid you go by your bid times 10. So if you bid 5 and don't make your bid, you go back 50. I've never seen anyone play or read rules where going set was not the case. Further if you make DOUBLE your bid you go BACK 100 points. This works to keep bids honest and people from 'lowballing' their hand. You also failed to point out there are 13 books per hand.

    3 things not mentioned in the video:
    1. Accumulating 10 bags over the course of multiple rounds deducts 100 point
    2. Most people play so that if you do not make your bid, you lose 10 points for each trick you bid
    3. Bidding 0, or nil, is a option that grants you 100 points if successful and loses you 100 points if you get a trick

    There is also the nil and double nil options, where you score if the number of tricks you took equals zero.

    We used to play in county jail. What a waste of time. I could have been reading or doing push-ups

    Can players talk to each other about how many bids to do as a team?

      Team mates sit across from each other but DON'T talk or give any signals to each other. You hope your teammate knows how to play

    Isn’t the overbidder penalized?

    But what causes you to be in the negative. I'm playing a game downloaded from playstore. I seem to always go into the negative. I believe what you say are the very bare basics of the game. It is a little more detailed than that. Thanks.

      Like all games, you learn by playing the game.

    It seems strange that there is no penalty for overbidding.

    what if you lie about not having a card in the color, to loose a worse card?
