INTRODUCTION OF SPARTS

Sparts is a modern day amalgamation of Spades and Hearts.  It combines the bidding and trump suit of Spades with the trick avoidance and penalty points of Hearts to make an interesting game. 룰렛사이트

Players will bid on how many tricks they think can take while also avoiding the collection of Heart cards.  Points are earned for bidding accuracy and trick collection, but points are deducted for the Heart cards and the Queen of Spades.  Balancing the two during play can be very tricky.

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

 Sparts uses a 52 card deck.  Shuffle the cards and dole out the hands according to how many players are in the game.

4 players – 13 cards each

5 players – 10 cards each (2 card kitty)

6 players – 8 cards each (4 card kitty)

THE PASS

Three cards will be passed each hand.  On the first hand, pass three cards to the player on your left.  For the next hand, pass three cards two players to the left.  Continue following the pass structure each hand.  For hands that you would pass to yourself, simply keep the three cards.

BIDDING

Bidding begins with the player seated to the immediate left of the dealer.  Each player bids on how many tricks they are going to take.  This number is written down by the scorekeeper.  Players may bid as low as zero and as high as there are tricks.  Bid wisely because points will be deducted if a player falls short of their bid.

THE PLAY

THE FIRST TRICK

The player that is dealt the 2 of Clubs leads the first trick.  If no one has the 2 of Clubs, the player with the 3 of Clubs leads first and so on.  In this game, Spades are always trump.  Hearts cannot be led until the suit is broken.  The suit is broken when a player cannot follow suit and chooses to play a Heart.

Whoever plays the highest card in the suit that is led or the highest Spade captures the trick.  The Trick-winner leads the next trick.

Continue play until all of the tricks are captured.
