Goal: first team to 250 wins the match. You and North are partners against
West and East. Bidding: before each hand, every player bids how many tricks they think they will take —
bid 0 to go Nil, meaning you bet you will take no tricks at all. Play: the 2♣ leads the first trick. You must follow the suit that was led if you can.
The highest card of the led suit takes the trick — unless a spade is played, then the highest
spade takes it. The trick winner leads the next trick. Spades are trump: they can't be led until they are broken — a spade played while void in
the led suit — unless you hold only spades. Scoring: each team's tricks count together. Make your combined bid and you score
10 points per bid trick, plus 1 per overtrick (each overtrick is a bag — every
10 bags costs −100). Miss your bid and you lose 10 per bid trick.
A Nil made is +100; a Nil busted is −100.
