Game Description
Hardwood Spades is the game where a trick IS a treat! Bid on how many tricks you can take, then work with your partner to make it happen. Don't overbid, or you'll be set. But don't underbid either, or you'll be stuck with a bag! If you think you can duck all the tricks, go for a nil bid ... just make sure you're not holding the Ace of Spades! Spades is a four-player card game that is usually played in teams of two. You and your partner bet on how many "tricks" you can take, then the four players take turns laying cards on the table in an attempt to win all of the tricks you bet on without going over. It isn't the most straightforward game in the world, though Hardwood Spades has four tutorials devoted to different aspects of the game. That, combined with a little practice, goes a long way.
