¿Question #2794?
snoweel: When playing Spades, what do you call it when a player bids to try to catch zero tricks?

Hector Vortac: nil
Felimid: Shovels.
pwilz: There's 'nil' when you bid this after seeing your cards (worth 100 points if the team succeeds) and 'blind nil' which you make before seeing your cards. It's worth 200 points if the team succeeds, and the team may exchange a single card after the cards are dealt.

sekke: miserie
