What is "nil"?
In card games like Spades, nil refers to a bid where a player promises to not win any tricks during the round. If the player successfully avoids winning a trick, they earn a set number of points, usually 100. However, if they win any tricks, they lose points, typically the value of their bid. Nil bids add an element of risk and strategy, as players must rely on their teammates to win the necessary tricks while they aim to avoid taking any. The nil bid is often used when a player has a weak hand.
