Summary: When playing spades with jokers, the game is the same except that there are 54 cards and the joker trumps the ace of spades. Play spades with jokers, letting one joker trump the other, with tips from a card game enthusiast in this free video on playing games.
"Hi, spades is a great card game to play. You ever thought about playing spades with different variations? Hi, my name is Dean Hale, and I'm going to teach you today how to play spades with jokers. To play spades with jokers you play with the same rules as you would a regular spades game except you would use a fifty four card deck instead of a fifty two; using the two jokers. The two jokers would be elevated to the top of the spade rankings, meaning if somebody played an ace of spades and you played a joker the joker would trump the ace of spades. Now, you typically have one of the jokers having a higher value over another joker. Usually, one of the jokers has more writing on it, or has color on it, and that's usually the joker that's made as the higher joker. Play is the exact same way, except the fact that you do have fifty-four cards, so when you deal your thirteen the dealer is going to get fifteen cards. The dealer could then look at his hand and take two of the cards and place them face down, so then everybody has the same thirteen cards. You then play the game the same way, except remember; jokers are the highest card, the highest spade in the suit. My name's Dean Hale, and now you know how to play spades with jokers. Have fun."
