Multiplayer Game

Game Introduction

The most popular game mode among the players – Pairs, consists of four players separated in two teams. The game is played with a complete deck of 52 cards (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A), where spades are always the trump suit. A trump card cannot be played unless the player has no other cards besides spades or until a spade has been used to trump another trick.The cards are dealt clockwise – the players receive thirteen cards each. Every player must declare a bid – number of tricks from 0 to 13, which he expects to win. He can choose to see the cards or declare a blind bid. A successful blind bid yields 200 extra points. The team’s bids are summed up to form the team’s total bid. A NIL bid is also a valid option, where the bidder declares to take 0 tricks. If he succeeds, the team is awarded 100 points – if he fails, however, the team loses 100 points.

Differences in Spades card game modes:

SOLO

In this mode there are no teams, each player has a separate score and plays for himself. /circle-ios-game-cheats.html. The winner receives the whole prize pool. If there are two or more players with the same score, the cards are dealt again for another round. A successful Nil bid gives 50 points and an unsuccessful one -50 Points. A blind bid cannot be placed. The bag penalty of five bags equals -50 points. Playing games with the Solo mode is preferred my many players and the one-man-army style of play is the reason why most tournaments are with the Solo format.

SUICIDE

The players play in teams but the difference is that one of the team members must bid Nil while the other has to bid at least 4. There are no Blind Nil Bids.

WHIZ

In WHIZ mode the players must either bid Nil or bid the exact number of spades they possess. Again, no Blind Nil is allowed and the game is played in teams.

MIRROR

In teams each player must announce the exact number of Spades they have. If a player doesn’t have any, he must bid Nil. Again, there are no Blind Nil bids.

You can check out spades rules page for more detailed information.

Variations of spades

Over the years, many variations of spades have sprung up where players have added extra rules or unexpected trump cards to enhance the fun. Few of these variations are available in online play, but they’re crazy enough to be worthy of mention. Here are just some of them…

  • Bauer Trumps

    this is a special variation where the two highest trumps in the game are the jack of spades and the jack of clubs. They are referred to as the “right bauer” and “left bauer” respectively. The Bauer “I’m more honest and my women are more beautiful” “All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me” Donald “All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me” Trump variation is borrowed heavily from Euchre.

  • Boston

    this variation of spades allows a team to win outright if they “shoot the moon.” This means all 13 tricks are taken by one player or team. A rare spectacle!

  • Deuces High

    in this variation, the deuces of each suit are worth more than spades, making them trumps.

  • Jokers High

    in this variation, the two jokers in the deck become the main trumps of the game.

  • Mirrors (also sometimes called Whiz)

    in this variation, you bid only the exact number of spades you have been dealt. If you have no spades, you must automatically bid nil.

  • Spades for Three

    to accommodate a game of spades for just three players, you simply remove the two of clubs, and each player is dealt seventeen cards. Obviously, this variation must be played as singles.

  • Suicide

    this variation can only be played with pairs, and one player out of each pair must bid nil, no matter what cards they have.

So whether you’re tempted by playing free spades online.
