Spades Head-To-Head Rules
Spades Go-For-The-Gold Rules
Spades Daily , Weekly & Semi-Weekly Jackpot Rules

THE CARDS:

1. 52 card deck.
2. Rank - Ace (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
3. Spades always trump.

STARTING THE GAME:
1. There is no deal.
2. Cards are shuffled, cut and placed face down in the center of the table to form the stock.
3. Building Your Hand: You will be presented with the top card from the Stock. If you want this card, it goes into your hand, then you will see the next card of the Stock which will be discarded to begin the Discard Pile. If you do not want the first card drawn from the Stock, discard it, and the next card will be put into your hand. This process continues until the entire Stock has been exhausted. You will then have built a hand of thirteen cards. The discard pile is put aside and not used in subsequent play.

THE PLAY:
1. All Rounds consists of 3 hands, except Go-For-The-Gold, which consists of 7 hands.
2. After looking at and analyzing your cards, you will register your bid for the exact number of tricks you expect to win (out of thirteen possible).
3. Lead card can be any suit except Spades. Spades may not be led until they have been "broken" by a Spade discard on a previous trick, (unless you have only spades left in your hand).
4. You must always follow suit if possible. If you are unable to follow suit you may play any card you wish including trumping in with a Spade.
5. A trick is won by the highest trump (spade), or by the highest card of the suit led.
6. Players keep each trick they take, which when matched with their bid determines their score for that hand.

SCORING:
1. For each hand that you make or exceed your bid you will receive 10 points for each trick taken up to what you have bid. Plus you will receive 1 point for each trick in excess of your bid. (For example if you bid 7 tricks and take 9 tricks you would receive 72 points for that hand).
2. If your recieve more than 4 bags (excess tricks over your bid) you will be penalized 10 points for each bag.
(example: 6 bags = 60 penalty points)
3. On hands that you fail to make your bid you will be penalized 10 points times your bid. (For example, if you bid 7 tricks and take 6 tricks you would be penalized 70 points for that hand).
4. To qualify for the Playoff Tournament, a player must obtain a Silver, Gold or Platinum Status in one of the Go-For-The-Gold Rounds played.
