Why the Ace of Spades is a Trap in JJDD

Introduction

In BooksMade Spades (JJDD style), the Ace of Spades is vulnerable to four higher cards: the Jokers and the Power 2s.

Bidding the "Weak Ace"

If you have the Ace of Spades but none of the Big Four (Jokers, 2D, 2S), your Ace is effectively a King. If you bid it as a "for sure" book, you run the risk of getting "cut" by a player holding a Power 2.
