Spades

Object of Game

Spades is a 4-player partnership game played with a standard deck of 52 cards.

The objective is to win the most points by taking "tricks" during the game.

The first team to reach either 100, 200, or 500 points (depending on game settings) wins. If both teams reach the winning points total on the same deal, the team with the higher score wins. If one team reaches -200 (or less) the game ends and the team with the highest score at that point wins.
