    Looking for a good partner to hit up some sites and dominate. I wanna get some good chemistry with a good player who plays a lot.

    I play a game that is basically spades except you change out the trump card based on the leader at that time.

    Most Iranians and middle easterners have a game that is basically the same thing with minor changes.

    I can play pretty much any variation of spades, but don't like playing individual games.

    I used to play spades all the time and was pretty successful. Where do you play? Yahoo was my old stomping ground.

    am i reading the rules right? spades are basically the trump cards. ranking of cards is ace-highest down to 2-lowest. before you play you look at your 13 cards and decide how many turns you can win. if you dont think you can win any, you say nil. but the main objective is to get the amount of turns you said you would get or more? that right?

    i'd like to say i've always been pretty good, even though i haven't played much lately. Used to play on Yahoo and in person. Always been pretty good at reading partners by their play

    Depends on how much you want to play, of course.. but i'd give it a shot some

    Basically, but the game goes a lot deeper than that when you get more experience Bags, paying attention to what has been played, cutting with spades, reading your partners hand as well as reading the opponents.Million different possibilities. It's an awesome game.

    "Bid nil" you lose the amount of points you would've gained depending on what value nil has in a certain game. If your partner makes his say 3 bid he'll get 30 points and depending on what the value of nil is usually 100 you'd end up with a negative 70 hand together. If you wanna play Ill show you
