Blackbird is a game of 4 players involving two teams. Partners sit opposite each other. Game is played clockwise. Deck consists of 41 cards. There are four suits: Black, Green, Red, and Yellow. There are 10 cards in each suit, numbered from 5 to 14. There is one Blackbird card. The Blackbird card is worth 20 points. Each 14 and 10 cards are worth 10 points. Each 5 cards is worth 5 points. The rest of the cards are not worth any points. The 14 numbered cards of any suit is the highest card of that suit followed by the 13 cards down to the 5 cards.

Game is played clockwise. Each player is dealt 9 cards. 5 cards will be kept aside called a Nest. Players have to bid for the points they will make in a round. Bid begins at 70 and the maximum one can bid in a Blackbird game is 120 points. The player who wins the bid will get to decide the trump suit. The bid winner can also exchange the cards from the Nest.

Play starts with the left of the person who took the bid. Player who leads may play any card he/she wishes. All other players must play a card of the same suit as the card lead or play the Blackbird card. If the player doesn’t have any cards of the suit led, he/she may play any card. If the trump suit is lead and the player with the Blackbird card doesn’t have any trump cards, he/she must play the Blackbird card. The player that plays the highest card wins the trick. The trick winner gets to lead the next trick. The player that takes the last trick in a round takes the nest. If there are any point cards in the Nest, the points will go to the trick winner.

If the team which won the bid, fails to make the points they bid, they will get a negative score equivalent to the bid amount. Game continues until one team reaches 300 points.
