Welcome to SPADES card game
HOW DO YOU PLAY SPADES GAME?
Number of players
Two or more; the game is most frequently played in pairs with four players ("Partnership spades")
The deck
52-card standard deck. Additionally, Spades may be played with one or two Jokers or with predetermined cards removed. When there are six or more players, a second deck is frequently used.
Suit Rank
Spades will always win. While cards of other suits have no intrinsic value during play, a card of the suit led in the current trick will always beat a card of any other suit except a Spade. If a tiebreaker is required in a deal, the most frequently used suit order in Bridge is from low to high.
Card rank
From highest to lowest: ace, king, queen, jack, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three.
The game's objective
To accumulate points (generally 500). Points are earned by winning at least the number of tricks bid in each hand, and are deducted for failing to take at least that number, or in some cases, for taking too many.
Counter Bidding
The first team to bid has the option of counter-bidding.
The deal
The initial dealer is determined by a draw for the "first spade" or "highest card," and the deal is then passed to the dealer's left after each hand. The dealer shuffles the deck, and the player to the right is allowed to "cut" the cards in order to prevent the dealer from stacking the deck. The entire deck is then dealt face-down in clockwise order, one card at a time (with four players, each player should receive 13 cards). The players then pick up their cards, double-check the card count, and rearrange them as desired (the most common arrangement is by suit, then rank).
A misdeal occurs when not all players receive the same number of cards or when a player deals out of turn. A misdeal can be discovered immediately after the cards are dealt, or it can be discovered during the course of a hand's play. If a single card is misdealt and discovered before the players in question have seen their cards, the player who is short a card may randomly select a card from the player who has an extra card. Otherwise, if a hand is dealt incorrectly, it is considered void and must be redealt by the same dealer (unless the reason for the redeal is the hand was dealt out of turn).
Bidding
Each player makes a bid for the number of tricks they anticipate taking. The player to the left of the dealer initiates the bidding, which proceeds clockwise until it reaches the dealer. Due to the fact that Spades are always trump, no trump suit is named during the bidding process, as is the case with some other variants. A bid of "zero" is referred to as "nil"; players must bid at least one in order to avoid bidding "nil" (see below).
The standard rule in partnership Spades is that the bids of each partnership's two members are added together.
Blind and nil bidding
Two extremely common bidding strategies are for a player or partnership to bid "blind," without looking at their cards, or to bid "nil," indicating that they will not take a single trick during the hand's play. These bids reward the partnership if the players accept their offer exactly, but penalize them if the players accept more or fewer. Generally, a combined bid of two "blind nil" is permitted and is worth the blind and nil bonuses or penalties. In some variants, the player bidding nil sends one or two of their cards to their partner and receives an equal number of cards back. Nil passing is permitted only when the nil is a blind nil. Typically, teams must be 100 points down to bid blind nil.
Gameplay
Now it's time to play spades online card game. Each hand contains a number of tricks; a four-handed game contains thirteen tricks that utilize all fifty-two cards. By playing a single card of their choice, the player to the dealer's left takes the opening lead. Players then play cards of their choice in a clockwise fashion. They must, if possible, follow suit; if not, they may play any card, including a trump spade. Once a card is discarded from a player's hand, it becomes unrecoverable unless the player who tossed the card makes an attempt to correct his error before the next player lays down a card.
A common variant rule, derived from Hearts, is that a player may not lead spades until another trick is trumped by a spade.
This prevents a player who is "long" in spades (possesses a large number of them) from leading spades sequentially at the start of the hand, thereby depleting them and preventing other players from using them as trumps. The act of playing the first spade in a hand is referred to as "breaking spades," a reference to the parent rule of "breaking hearts." When a player leads with a spade following a spade break, the remaining players must follow suit.
Another frequent variant rule, which is also derived from Hearts, is that a player cannot lead spades in the first trick.
The player who played the highest card of the led suit wins or takes the trick; if trumps are played, the highest trump card wins.
The player who wins the trick arranges the cards facedown, allowing players to keep track of the number of tricks taken. After this point, the contents of each trick are not viewable, except to determine whether a player reneged. A player's trick count cannot be concealed; if questioned, each player must count out his tricks until everyone agrees on the "trick count." The player who wins a trick advances to the next. Play continues until all players' hands are depleted, which should occur on the same (final) trick. Otherwise, the transaction is declared a blunder.
Reneging
A partnership breaches its contract if it violates the rules of play; this most frequently occurs when a player plays offsuit when he could have — and thus should have — followed suit. This may not become apparent until much later in the game.
The most common penalty for reneging is for the reneging player to automatically lose their bid, or for the reneging player to have three tricks added to their bid as a penalty, implying that the team may still make contract but will have to take three additional tricks. It is irrelevant whether the player reneged on purpose or not.

Scoring
The hand is then scored after the final trick is played. Numerous scoring variants exist; the following is the fundamental method. All players must align tricks earned from consecutive hands played to the final hand.
