Spades

1.You and North play West and East. Spades are trump, and you must follow suit if you can.

2.Each player bids the tricks they expect to win. A team must take at least the combined bid. Nil means you bid to win no tricks (+100 if you make it, -100 if not). If your team is 100 or more points behind you may bid Blind Nil before looking at your cards: +200 or -200.

3.Spades can't be led until one has been played (unless you only hold spades).

4.Extra tricks (bags) add 1 point each; ten bags cost 100 points. The first team to 500 points wins (250 on easy), or wins if the other team falls to -200. Easy plays any legal card; normal and hard play to their bids.
