Bidding in Spades

Bidding Basics

• After the deal, players bid the number of tricks they believe their team will win, from 0 to 13.
• Bidding starts with the player to the dealer's left and proceeds clockwise.
• Players can also bid nil, meaning they aim to win no tricks for bonus points.

Blind Nil Bidding

• If the "Blind Nil" setting is enabled, players can choose to bid nil without seeing their cards for higher rewards.
