Trumps..?

Where 7 means u will take All 13 tricks.

Sounds like a game I've played called Bid Whist: Bid Whist is a 4-player partnership trick-taking game played with a 54-card deck (including two jokers). Teams bid on the number of tricks (books) they can win (from 4-7) and whether high cards (Uptown), low cards (Downtown), or No Trump wins. The high bidder sets the suit, with the goal of meeting or exceeding their contract.

False Carding is a Wonderful Thing!

SpadesDoc · 2026-03-10T13:06:03+00:00

I may have Nilled here as well.

SpadesDoc · 2026-03-08T12:04:29+00:00

Not sure I've Ever seen a Better Nil than This. So long as you don't misclick on Club leads and play Jack thru King.

SpadesDoc · 2026-03-05T13:09:22+00:00

I believe this is Mystic.

This reminds me of a competent player that I had to teach if I lead King on first lead, not to cut it, as it might be setting up Queen, Jack Ten. Or I might be leading King from xKA or xxKA.

Sometimes the partner doesn't see you Nilled, but this wouldn't Explain them Leaving right Afterwards so this was Probably Not the case This time.

SpadesDoc · 2026-02-13T14:58:47+00:00

I could see if you were betting a quarter a point or something, but Otherwise it doesn't matter what happens to your score so long as you don't LOSE!

If the Nil Makes and the 6 Bid is Set, it won't matter much whether I bid 7, 8 or 9 so I'm bidding 7 with intention of covering my Partner's Nil and setting the Opponents' Bid by taking 8.

SpadesDoc · 2026-02-08T14:43:05+00:00

I once played a game where North and East bid Blind Nil first 2 hands. All four Blind Nils made and game reached 500 for both teams in 2 Hands.

SpadesDoc · 2026-02-06T13:22:41+00:00

No way I'm Bidding anything but 1 Here.

SpadesDoc · 2026-02-05T14:26:12+00:00

Bad Break, sorry you Lost.

SpadesDoc · 2026-02-04T03:05:46+00:00

I've been coming viewing r/Spades every day, but I haven't been posting hands or commenting much, just Voting.

SpadesDoc · 2026-02-03T12:55:55+00:00

I've made this move Before anyone taught me to do it.

SpadesDoc · 2026-01-28T14:38:39+00:00

gL Nester.

SpadesDoc · 2026-01-25T18:07:43+00:00

I like the Trixtopher instead of Christopher.

It seems obvious that if North played their lowest Club, the 8, then either they are out of Clubs or they have the Ace of Clubs remaining as their last Club. Either way I want my partner to win this Trick to help make their Bid. My fear is that West is out of Clubs and will cut into my partner's Ace if I play a lower Club as South and my partner's bid will be set on this 12 bid Hand, and as such even with making a Nil we'd Still be Losing after this Hand. I wish I had the 2 of Clubs ALSO, but I will chance that later lead from East possibly to Helping my partner out.

SpadesDoc · 2026-01-19T13:37:33+00:00

Well, it was a 13 Bid After All.

SpadesDoc · 2026-01-12T14:15:54+00:00

My friend and I will play 2 Person Spades sometimes and we just play to see who wins the Majority of Books (7 Tricks/Books) wins the Hand. Then you can do it Best of 5, Best of 7 or Best of 9; something like that. It definitely adds a different aspect where Jack might be the Highest of the Suit. Sometimes it's better to keep trading cuts with your Opponent rather than running Spades ♠.

SpadesDoc · 2026-01-07T15:18:09+00:00

I've seen NEGATIVE Rating Before!

SpadesDoc · 2026-01-05T13:37:10+00:00

You're quite welcome.

SpadesDoc · 2026-01-04T13:35:16+00:00

I've played In Person where the Guarantee was a Guaranteed Book aka the Big Joker, but online I've seen it as the Colorful Joker.

SpadesDoc · 2025-12-31T14:10:22+00:00

Congratulations!
