Thanks! That Trizzle will indeed take some time to complete.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Trizzle is one I love to play so I'll likely play by hand, but the auto rocks this game, do that's an option.
I don't play Spades .. how long will this challenge take?
For 21 nil bids (which the auto does not bid), it might take some time for the inexperienced player. Just keep bidding nil for every hand and hope for the best. The nice thing about making a private table and only playing against bots is that the bots don't seem to try to thwart your nil bid. It then becomes a numbers game (how many high cards and spades do you have?).
Another option: play with people you know who will accommodate your nil bids. This can be very fast if everyone understands how to play the cards.
Depends. What I will do is the very first hand I will way over a bid my hand and then lose it so that my options will come up to make a nil bid. I'll just keep doing that as long as possible.
Spades my favorite game and I play it by hand, anyone needing help with this one just PM me.

As long as your settings allow it, you can bid nil every hand, not just when there are big score discrepancies.
Ok, thank you. I'll try a private table against bots and see what happens.

I will have to look at that. I haven't seen it.
Edited: Not seeing a special setting for that. What am I missing?

Thank you!
I was getting all nil bids until the other team bid blind nil. I guess that's the only time you don't get the choice.

You must have had a big score discrepancy. I guess both teams can't bid nil at the same time. Kind of makes sense.

Woot!
Thanks for letting us know!
I have to say that the auto is not the smartest spades player. When bidding NIL, it plays the four of hearts, not the Q of hearts, when another player has played the ace. What's up wit dat?

When I was watching I noted that it did play the best card for the nil bid. Maybe it was a hit and miss and I always saw the 'right on! you it it baby' plays.

Ok, so what you're saying is that I got the drunk spades auto?

I'm just sayin' your auto is unruly. Whether through drink or due to lack of supervision is a question only you can answer. whistle.gif whistle.gif

As long as the auto wins the challenge for me, it can behave any way it wants too!
