CallBreak Club

Callbreak is a trick-taking card game played with a standard 52-card deck by 4 players. It’s similar to Spades. The objective is to win the exact number of tricks you bid before the round starts. Goal of the Game Each player calls (bids) a number of tricks they think they can win in that round. Your aim is to win at least that many tricks — not less. Players 4 players No teams — each plays individually Deck and Card Ranking 52-card deck (no jokers) Order: A > K > Q > J > 10 > 9 > 8 > 7 > 6 > 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 Spades (♠) are always trump cards — they beat all other suits. Gameplay Dealing: Each player gets 13 cards. Bidding (Calling): Each player announces how many tricks (hands) they expect to win (1–13). Playing: The player to the dealer’s right starts the first trick. Players must follow the same suit if possible. If you don’t have that suit, you can play a spade (trump) or any card. The highest card of the leading suit wins unless a spade is played — then the highest spade wins. The winner of a trick leads the next round. Scoring: If you meet or exceed your call → you score your call points. Each extra trick gives 0.1 bonus point. If you fail to meet your call → you lose the same number of points you called. 📊 Example: You call 4 and win 5 tricks → Score = 4 + 0.1 = 4.1 You call 5 but win only 3 → Score = -5 🏆 Winning the Game The game usually has 5 rounds. After all rounds, the player with the highest total score wins. ⚙️ Optional Rules (Variations) Some versions make Spades must be broken (can’t use until someone else does). No re-deal even if a player gets all low cards. Tied calls can be broken by highest total tricks.
