Start by spliting into two teams of two and dealing out all the cards between the 4 players (13 per person)
Decide as a group if you want to play to 200 or 500 points (note that games can be shortend or extended by changing the amount of points to win)
With your teammate place a bet on how many tricks you will win and then start playing cards counter clockwise around the group
*Make sure not to share what cards you have even with your partner*
If your playing with only two people, go 1-on-1 without creating teams and play remains the same.

The first player to go will place down a card of any suit, and all other players must match that suit unless they have run out of cards in that suit. This is how spades must be broken.
A trick is the name for all the cards played during a round that will be won by a player.
A card in the Spade suit can not be played as a starting card in a round unless a Spade card has already been played in a previous trick
After all players have used up all their cards, The amount of tricks won by a team are counted. Then if the team has made their original bet, then they multiply that number by 10 and add any additionally won tricks to that number. If a team did not make their bet they win zero points for that round.
