The Basics

1. You are on a team. Your score is shared with your partner.


2. You must play the same suit as the lead card, if possible.
The highest card wins the trick.


3. If Spades are played, they always win the trick and can only be beat by a higher Spade.


4. At the beginning of the round, you and your partner predict the total number of tricks your team will take, by bidding.


Tip: Choose bids based on how many high value cards and ♤'s are in your hand.


5. Fulfill your team’s total bid by taking tricks.


6. Score points by fulfilling your team's bid. The game ends and the winner is declared when a team hits 250 points, or -100 points.
