## How to Play PlayOK Spades?


**1. Setup & Deal**



Join Game: Log in to PlayOK, find a Spades table, and join (usually 4 players in teams of 2).
Deal: The dealer shuffles and deals all 52 cards one at a time, giving each player 13 cards.

**2. Bidding Phase**



- Bid: Starting left of the dealer, each player bids the number of tricks (books) they think they (and their partner) can win.

- Partner Bid: Your bid plus your partner’s bid forms your team’s contract for the hand.

- Nil Bid: Bidding zero (Nil) is a risky bid to take no tricks for big points.


**3. Playing the Hand (Tricks)**

- Lead: Player to the dealer’s left leads any card except a spade.

- Follow Suit: Players must play a card of the same suit if they have one (clockwise).

- Trump/Cut: If you can’t follow suit, you can play any card, including a spade (trump).

- Win Trick: Highest card of the led suit wins; if spades are played, the highest spade wins.

- Next Lead: The trick winner leads the next trick.

- Breaking Spades: Spades can’t be led until one is played (cut) on a non-spade lead, or if you only have spades left.


**4. Scoring**



- Making Bid: 10 points per trick bid (e.g., bid 4, make 4 = 40 pts).

- Overbid (Bags): +1 point for each trick over your bid (bags).

- Bags Penalty: Every 10 bags results in a 100-point deduction.

- Missed Bid: -10 points for each trick bid (e.g., bid 4, make 3 = -40 pts).

- Nil: +100 pts for a successful Nil bid; -100 pts for failing (taking tricks).


**5. Winning**



- Play continues, with the dealer rotating, until a team reaches 500 points.
