Individual Spades - Playing with four individual players

You can play Spades as individuals, meaning, each player has to bid

a number of tricks from 0 - 13, or how many plays they will win, and

each player is responsible for making their own tricks without the

help of a partner.

Cutthroat - Playing with three individual players

When playing Cutthroat, individual players are dealt 17 cards each

and the remaining card is tossed out of play for that particular game.

Players then bid for the number of tricks they believe they can make

between 0 and 17.Players are also allowed to bid nil or blind nil in

Cutthroat games. You can also play where the total of the three bets 

cannot equal 17 tricks, making it impossible for each player to make

their bet exactly.

Partnership - Playing with Pairs

Playing Spades in pairs is a great way to make new friends and hone

your skills. For first time partners, you will note that your partner

sits directly across from you. After the cards are dealt, each player

is asked to make a bid.
