Most rules for trick card games apply. Player must follow suit if possible. Spades are always trump. Spades may not be led until they are broken.

After each round, it is scored. Players (or teams) who take at least as many tricks as they bid score 10 points times their bid plus 1 point (called a bag) for each trick taken in excess of their bid. If they failed to make their bid the earn -10 points times their bid. If 10 bags are accumulated, a penalty of -100 points is given.

If a player bid zero tricks, they earn 100 points if they succeeded in not taking any tricks, and -100 points if they did take a trick.
