See the Score Card for the value of bids.Īn example of a bid is “7 Spades” or “7 Diamonds”. Each bid must be higher than the last bid. Each bid has a score value based on the suit and the number of tricks bid. Decided on how many tricks could you win.You can also bid No Trumps, Mesire (You will lose all tricks & your partner sits out.) and Open Mesire (You will lose all tricks with an open hand & your partner sits out). This will usually be the suit you have the most and highest cards in. The team who wins the bid is the team that wins or loses points at the end of the hand. You decide your bid on the hand you have and what other people are bidding. This is where each player says how many rounds or tricks they think they can win.
