The Shady Spade

The Shady Spade is a 6-player secret partner card game where alliances are hidden, bids are bold, and one legendary card changes everything.

THE LEGENDARY SHADY SPADE
The 3 of Spades is worth 30 points -- the most valuable card in the deck. Capture it and swing the game in your favour. Miss it and watch your opponents celebrate.

HOW IT WORKS
- 6 players split into two secret teams of 3
- The highest bidder declares trump and calls 2 secret partners using hidden cards
- Partners stay secret until their called card is played -- anyone could be your ally
- Bid between 130-250 points to win the round
- Make your bid - your team scores. Get SET - lose everything

WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE
- 48-card deck (no 2s) with point values on every card
- Aces, Kings, Queens, Jacks and 10s = 10 pts each
- 5s = 5 pts each
- The Shady Spade (3 of Spades) = 30 pts
- Total points per round = 250
