Spades Academy - Play & Learn

Learn Spades with Coach Owl, one step at a time.

Spades is a card game for four players. You play on a team with your partner, Bear. Fox and Raccoon play on the other team. Spades Academy teaches the game in short lessons with plain words.

SKILLS YOU PRACTICE

Planning: Look at your cards and guess how many tricks you can win. That guess is your bid. Then play to make it.

Counting: Keep track of the cards that have been played. In What's Still Out?, you count the spades that are left.

Simple chances: Work out who might hold a card. If two players could have it, that is about 1 chance in 2.

Teamwork: Your bid tells your partner about your hand. Help your partner, and add your tricks together.
