<p>As in most traditional trick-taking games, a player <em>must</em> follow suit if able. Breaking spades only allows a player to <em>lead</em> spades, i.e. to play a spade as the first card of a trick. Players can only play a spade on a non-spade trick if they have no cards of the led suit.</p>

As in most traditional trick-taking games, a player *must* follow suit if able. Breaking spusername_0s only allows a player to *lead* spusername_0s, i.e. to play a spusername_0 as the first card of a trick. Players can only play a spusername_0 on a non-spusername_0 trick if they have no cards of the led suit.
