Spades Rules:
*The four players are in fixed partnerships, with partners sitting opposite
each other. Deal and play are clockwise.
*A standard pack of 52 cards is used. The cards, in each suit, rank from
highest to lowest: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
*The first dealer is chosen at random, and the turn to deal rotates
clockwise. The cards are shuffled and then dealt singly, in clockwise order
beginning with the player on dealer's left, until all 52 cards have been
dealt and everyone has 13.
*In Spades, all four players bid a number of tricks. Each team adds together
the bids of the two partners, and the total is the number of tricks that
team must try to win in order to get a positive score. The bidding begins
with the player to dealer's left and continues clockwise around the table.
Everyone must bid a number, and in theory any number from 0 to 13 is
allowed. Unlike other games with bidding, there is no requirement for each
bid to be higher than the last one, and players are not allowed to pass.
There is no second round of bidding - bids once made cannot be altered.
*The player to dealer's left leads any card except a spade to the first
trick. Each player, in turn, clockwise, must follow suit if able; if
unable to follow suit, the player may play any card.
*A side that takes at least as many tricks as its bid calls for receives a
score equal to 10 times its bid. Additional tricks (overtricks) are worth
an extra one point each.

Sandbagging rule:
*Overtricks are colloquially known as
bags. A side which (over several deals) accumulates ten or more bags has
100 points deducted from its score. Any bags beyond ten are carried over
to the next cycle of ten overtricks - that is if they reached twenty
overtricks they would lose another 100 points and so on.
