Piki (Spades)
Spades was invented in the USA in the 1930's and is played quite widely in that country. Until recently it has been little known elsewhere, except in a few places where American troops were stationed, for example in parts of Germany.
Spades is a plain-trick game in which spades are always trumps. It is most often played as a partnership game by four players.

Povzetek pravil
The pack
The standard 52-card pack is used.
Rank of suits
The spade suit is always trump.
Rank of cards
A (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
Object of the game
To win at least the number of tricks bid.
The deal
The first dealer is chosen by a draw for high card, and thereafter the turn to deal proceeds clockwise. The entire deck is dealt one at a time, face down, beginning on the dealer's left. The players then pick up their cards and arrange them by suits.
The bidding
Each player decides how many tricks they will be able to take. The player to the dealer's left starts the bidding and, in turn, each player states how many tricks they expect to win. There is only one round of bidding, and the minimum bid is One. Every player must make a bid; no player may pass. No suit is named in the bid, for as the name of the game implies, spades are always trump.
The play
The game is scored by hands, and the winner must make a certain number of points, which is decided before the game begins. Five hundred points is common, but 300 points is suitable for a short game. The player on the dealer's left makes the opening lead, and players must follow suit, if possible. If a player cannot follow suit, they may play a trump or discard. The trick is won by the player who plays the highest trump or if no trump was played, the player who played the highest card in the suit led. The player who wins the trick leads next. Play continues until none of the players have any cards left. Each hand has 13 tricks taken. Spades cannot be led unless they have been played previously or player has nothing to lead but Spades in their hand.
Scoring
For making the contract (the number of tricks bid), the player scores 10 points for each trick bid, plus 1 point for each overtrick.
For example, if the player's bid is Seven and they make seven tricks, the score would be 70. If the bid was Five and the player won eight tricks, the score would be 53 points: 50 points for the bid, and 3 points for the three overtricks. In some games, overtricks are called "bags" and a deduction of 100 points is made every time a player accumulates 10 bags. Thus, it is usually better to fulfill the bid exactly.
If the player "breaks contract," that is, if they take fewer than the number of tricks bid, the player scores minus 10 points for each trick bid. For example, if a player bids four tricks and only wins three, -40 points are awarded. One of the players is the scorer and writes the bids down, so that during play and for the scoring afterward, this information will be available to all the players. When a hand is over, the scores should be recorded next to the bids, and a running score should be kept so that players can readily see each other's total points. If there is a tie, then all players participate in one more round of play.
