![]() ![]() A board is the LEAST amount you can bid, usually 4/5 books. How many of the 13 rounds do you think you can win? your # + teammates, that’s your bid. Once the dealer passes out 13 cards to each player, the team the dealer is NOT on makes their bids first, estimating how many BOOKS they can win. Only thing that beats a Spade is a higher Spade, 2 of Diamonds, Big/Lil Jokers.īut here’s the thing: spades can’t be used until somebody “Cuts” (runs out of another suit) iFSC6rsPtEĪll the way down to 3 of Spades, beat all other suits. One being the “Big” joker, the other the “Lil” joker. They are replaced by the two JOKER cards. All the regular cards MINUS the 2 of Hearts/2 of Clubs. let’s get into the deck.ĥ2 cards are used in the game. you need a teammate that can sense when you’re about to make a play, and vice versa. that means no talking/hand gestures/taps/etc. there is NO COMMUNICATING with your partner once each round starts. (And if you’re wondering why you were never taught in the first place, watch the funny, yet truthful video above by comedian Kev On Stage for an explanation.)Īlright so first the basics: it’s a four person game, you and a teammate, and the other team also consisting of two people. “They’re super fun, super competitive, there’s been fights at family bbqs over spades games lmaoo niggas do not play,” he said, concluding his lesson.Ĭheck out the thread below, and catch up before the next family and/or friends gathering. Only mouth-breathers and bingo players play spades with bags.Lola Brooke Reimagines Clipse's "Grindin'" In Mass Appeal Song "Blind Em" The SKILL of a trick taking game is taking more tricks. It also removes any advantage to the players who can score extra tricks. Instead of trying to take tricks, you are trying to NOT take tricks. Many games will devolve into an effort to avoid bags. You get punished with extra bags that are, in essence, worth -9 each. The point of playing a trick game is to bid and make tricks and try to prevent your opponents from making their contract. While all of these arguments are sound, they are not so big a deal. Allowing people the option to try this approach makes the game better. Secondly, if someone is dumb enough to fall for it, they deserve their fate. Only the dullest of wits will simply bid more because you bid less, especially if they get snookered once by it. Such a strategy should not be discouraged in the rules. Apparently some morons would grossly underbid in the effort to get their opponents to overbid. If you want a game of skill, where aggression to success in play is rewarded and poor bidding is punished, play with no bags. Setting the opponent is hardly worth while since doing so can incur so many bags. The game devolves into a bizzaro world attempt to take FEWER tricks and hope to compel the opponents to take more. ![]() And since there are bags for making too many tricks, those who try to set their opponents can be harshly punished. For playing more skillfully, we are BEHIND by almost 100 points due to the retarded bag rule. But my side, by WINNING more tricks and PLAYING BETTER has racked up 16 bags to your side's 8. Now we've played 8 hands and each have a score of 400 from bidding. Suppose we've been dealt roughly equal cards and have bid 5 per side each game. Suppose my side plays to set you and falls short a few times. Instead of a net gain of 110, we only gain 90 due to bags. Suppose there is some SKILLED play that allows my side to take 10 tricks. Suppose your side bids 3 and my side bids 8. On the other hand, overbidding is not punished by the bag rule. Underbidding is punished quite nicely by only awarding one opine (or even no points) for overtricks. I have played Spades with and without bags. ![]()
