The rules

How it plays

  1. Deal thirteen cards to each player; spades are always trump.
  2. Each player bids expected tricks, including a possible zero-trick nil bid.
  3. Follow the led suit when able; otherwise discard or play a spade.
  4. Spades may not be led until broken unless a hand contains only spades.
  5. Making a bid scores ten per bid trick plus bags; missing it loses the contract value.
Availability note. Expected December is an approximate target. Each wave arrives once the previous one is stable.

Ways to play

Variants, not separate apps.

One purchase contains the supported rules family. Each option below changes the table while keeping the engine's legal-move checks in charge.

Partners to 500

The classic two-partnership game.

  • Partners combine bids and tricks.
  • The default match target is 500 points.

Cutthroat

Four individual players compete for themselves.

  • No partnerships.
  • Bid, nil, trump and bag rules remain active.

Make it yours. Start from any of these, adjust the settings the game allows, and save it as your own template. When online play opens you can publish a custom table for others to join.
