Spades
Team trick-taking card game
Spades is played by four in two teams: you and North against West and East. Before each round everyone bids how many tricks they will take, and your team has to make the total of your bids.
Spades are trumps and beat every other suit. Make your bid for 10 points a trick, but every extra trick is a bag, and ten bags cost 100 points. Feeling brave? Bid Nil and take no tricks at all for a bonus.
