Bids are the most important decision makers in the game of spades.
Bidding order normally plays a key part in how strategy is initiated for the hand. Although the scoreboard is the deciding factor in the outcome of your game, accurate bidding is the vehicle that gets you to the winner's circle. Final hand bidding is usually the most crucial part of the game. All 'textbook rules' go out the window on that final round of bidding. Bags are another essential part of the mix, so be sure to give careful consideration to all ending scenarios on the final round of bidding.
