The cards, in each suit, rank from highest to lowest: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Rank of CardsĪ standard pack of 52 cards is used. The four players are in fixed partnerships, with partners sitting opposite each other. Many variations have been added, contributed by John Hay, Daniel Hines, and others. Nil and Blind Nil bids are scored separately from normal scoring (EXAMPLE: If P1 bid 0 and P3 bid 5 and P1 ended up taking 0 tricks but P3 took 4, their team would score 100 points for P1's Nil bid and -50 for P3's bid of 5 for a total of 50 points for the round).The following rules rely originally on contributions from Theodore Hwa, Dennis J Barmore (4 player game) and Szu Kay Wong (3 player game).Because of Blind Nil, it's important to ask players if they are bidding Blind Nil before they look at their hand.If you click the QTY value of your hand, you have the option to flip the entire hand at the same time for convenience. You must decide whether or not to bid Blind Nil before clicking them to be face-up. *For PlayingCards.io, your cards will be dealt to you face-down. If they score any tricks on a Blind Nil Bid, they score -200 points for their team. If a player wins 0 tricks on a Blind Nil bid, they score 200 points for their team. This works the same way as a Nil bid except they make this bid without looking at their hand of cards before bidding. Conversely, if they win any tricks on a Nil bid, they score -100 points for their team. If they do not win any tricks on a Nil bid, they score 100 points for their team. A player may bid Nil (0) during the Bidding phase if they think they will win 0 tricks.If a team does not reach their total bid amount in a round, they lose 10x their total bid amount (EXAMPLE: P2 and P4 each bid 3 for a total of 6, but they only won 5 tricks this past round. However, if a team's number of Bags reaches 10, their team's score is penalized -100 points. Bags are worth 1 point each as previously mentioned. They won 8 tricks this round and thus score 71 points - 10 points for the first 7 tricks and 1 point for the 8th trick).Įach trick won beyond the bid amount is known as a "Bag" and each Bag a team gets is recorded. If a team reaches or exceeds their total bid amount (between both players on the team), they score 10 points for each trick up to their bid amount + 1 point for each trick beyond their bid amount (EXAMPLE: P1 bid 3 and P3 bid 4 for a total of 7. Once this happens in a round, a player may then start a trick with a Spades suited card. Spades are broken when a player cannot follow the suit of a trick and plays a Spade suited card onto the trick.A Spade suited card cannot be the first card played in a trick unless the player has no other suits to play OR if Spades have been broken.Tricks are counted and compared to their bids. ![]() The winner takes the trick and starts a new trick by playing a card.Īfter all 13 tricks have been played, the round is over. The winner of the trick is the player who played the highest ranking card (EXAMPLE: P2 started the trick with a K of Hearts, P3 followed with a 7 of Hearts, P3 does not have any Hearts so they play a 3 of Diamonds, P4 plays an A of Hearts. If they cannot follow suit, they may play any card. Starting with the player left of the dealer, each player must play one card into the middle.Įach player must follow suit of the first card played, if possible. ![]()
