| Spades scoring system is as follows... Score = c + 1/10th b So a player's score is based not only on the a number of wins but also the size of wins or losses. |

| Hearts rules: 1 point for each heart won, 13 points for winning the queen of spades and minus 10 points for winning the jack of diamonds. But win all the hearts and the queen of spades in one round and you can add 26 points to everyone else's score or take 26 points off your own score. Each round is started by the player holding the 2 of clubs (this is always the first card played) and you are not allowed to play a point scoring card on your first go. Game is over when one player reaches 50 points and the person with the lowest score at that time wins. |
| Spades rules: Spades are trumps. You must 'bid' for the number of tricks you are going to win. 10 points are scored for each trick bid. One penalty point is scored for every trick you win over the bid. Win less than you bid and you lose the value of that bid. Eg: bid = 7 win 7, score = 70 pts. Win 8, score = 71 pts. Win 6 and you will lose 70 points. Combined team bid of 10 tricks or more is worth double points. 100 points are lost for every 10 penalty points incurred. A bid of 'nil' is worth 100 points but you lose 100 if you then win any tricks. If a team goes 150 points or more behind you can bid before you see your cards for double points. First to 500 wins. |

| Whist rules: 2 teams of two players sit opposite each other. In the first hand, hearts are trumps. Next come spades, diamonds and clubs and in the final hand there are no trumps. The person to the left of the dealer plays first. You must 'follow suit' if you can but if you do not have any of the suit played by the first person, you can play any card you like. If any trumps are played, then the highest trump wins otherwise the highest card of the suit played first wins. The winning team is the one that has made the most tricks (ie 33 or more) at the end of the five hands. |
| Widow whist rules: A solo game for three players. Four sets of 13 cards are dealt. You need to win three tricks in a hand to maintain your score - you get a point for every trick above three that you win in a hand but lose a point for every trick under three. The cards to the left of the dealer are the "widow's" hand Each player in turn (from the dealer's left) has the chance to swap their hand for the widow. If they do, they need to score four tricks to break even. First player to a score of 10 wins the game. |
