Spades is a popular trick-taking card game played by four players in partnerships. The game is typically played with a standard 52-card deck. Players are divided into two teams, with partners sitting across from each other. The goal is to accurately predict and then win as many tricks as possible, with each trick consisting of four cards played in turn. Players bid the number of tricks their partnership will take, and the team that fulfills their bid earns points while the opposing team aims to prevent them. Spades, as the trump suit, adds a strategic layer, as it can beat any other suit. Successful predictions and careful card play determine the victors.
