Players & target type your names — everything updates live

Add players in seating order, starting with whoever deals first — partners sit across, so seats 1 & 3 are one team and seats 2 & 4 the other. The deal rotates every hand.

Nil house rule:

When a nil fails, do that player's tricks count toward covering the team's bid? Bags only count when the team makes their bid; a set hand scores −10×bid and no bags.

Scoring cheat sheet

Made your bid10 × bid, +1 per bag

Set (missed your bid)−10 × bid

NIL made / failed+100 / −100

BLIND NIL made / failed+200 / −200

Collect 10 bags−100

Whether a failed nil's tricks help cover the team's bid is a house rule — set yours under Players & target. Every hand has exactly 13 tricks — the card won't let a hand save until they're all claimed. First team to the target wins; if both cross in the same hand, the higher total takes it.
