Jokers and, in Deuce Deuce, the 2♦︎ count as spades. Joker decks drop the 2♣︎ and 2♥︎.

Bot level

Play a hand

How it works

  • You, a bot partner and two bot opponents.
  • Bid, then play 13 tricks. Tap a card to play it.
  • Play to the game target. The score pad stays on this device.
  • After each hand: my review of your bid and key late cards.

How we grade

Exact per layout

Late cards: 40 layouts of the cards you could not see, each played out perfectly.

Your bid: our sure-book count (rule of thumb).

The review is graded on this device. It feeds your skill chart, not the Weekly League.

At a real table

  • Here I block cards you can't play.
  • At a real table a renege is called. A common cost is 3 books. Rooms differ.
  • A nil bidder's books don't count toward partner's bid. They count as bags (pagat.com rules).
  • The house makes the rules. Yours win at your table.
  • Table talk about your hand is cheating at serious tables.
