Anyone here play Spades?

Post by AlaskaHawks »

I've been playing some lately, and I forgot how much I enjoyed this game.

We need to get a game together from the board.

Played a lot in the Army, but not so much since. I loved that game though.

You play Joker, Joker, Deuce, Ace or no? (I always thought that was the natural hierarchy until I played with civilians, who acted like I was preaching voodoo or something.)

I'm not sure.... I haven't played with Jokers at all.

We always pulled the 2 of hearts and of diamonds and left the jokers in. Big joker, little joker, 2 of spades, then ace of spades and on down; that was how we played.

Sounds like an interesting variation.

I've just simply played 2-A in all suits.

Generally speaking from my experience, the JJ2A method was more prevelant among the blacks I played with.....and whites played without the jokers and allowed you to go nil when you wanted.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

I was thinking the same thing. I used to play a lot in university and it was always JJ2A with my black friends.

We've been throwing dice lately. A game called zilch.

In spades the point is to accumulate tricks....the opposite of hearts (unless shooting the moon).
