• Played in teams of two (Partners).

  • Each player must bid either Nil (0) or the exact number of Spades in their hand.

  • The rest of the gameplay follows standard Partner Spades rules.

Deck & Cards

  • Card order (high → low): A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.

  • Spades always trump other suits - even the lowest ♠2 beats any non-Spade.

Bidding Rules

  • Players must bid Nil or the number of Spades they hold.

  • Team bid = both partners’ bids combined.

    • The team must win exactly that number of tricks to score positively.
