Teamwork, skillful bidding, and strategic cooperation are key to winning the game. The goal of the game is to get your team to 500 points. Cards are ranked from Ace being the highest value to 2 being the lowest. At the start of the game, each player is dealt 13 cards, and the player to the left of the dealer goes first. In each round, players bid on how many tricks they can take. Each team combines their bids to determine how many tricks they have to take to avoid negative points. Players must follow the suit of the card that has been laid down before their turn. If they don't have that suit on hand, they can play any card, except a suit of Spades, on the first trick. A suit of Spades can be played once they've been "broken" and have become the "trump" suit. After each hand, scores are calculated. A team will receive 10 points per trick bid if they meet or exceed their bid, with 1 point for each extra trick taken. If a team fails to meet their bid, they'll get 10 points deducted from their score for each trick bid. Every 10 extra tricks, also called bags, a team accumulates costs the team 100 points. The game ends when a team either reaches 500 points or falls below -200 points. The highest-scoring team wins.
