From Microsoft: Welcome to Hardwood Spades ... the game where a trick IS a treat. Bid on how many tricks you can take, then work with your partner to make it happen. Don't overbid, or you'll be set. But don't underbid either, or you'll be stuck with a bag! If you think you can duck all the tricks, go for a nil bid ... just make sure you're not holding the Ace of Spades. Great version of Classic Spades with rule variants like Cutthroat, four-player partners, Suicide, and Mirrors. Customizable items include backgrounds, card faces, card backs, and tables.
