Finishes: Colors & Stains

The rank of trumps from high to low is: Big (red) joker, Small (black) joker, spade 2, A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3. In Spades, both teams bid. Bidding consists of a player looking at their cards and determining how many tricks they think they can win. The team w/dealer bids last.

In modern card games, the Joker card is commonly used as a wild card, substituting for any other card in games like poker, rummy, and canasta. Its strategic value and the element of unpredictability it introduces make it a sought-after card in many games.
