The game involves players sitting in a circle, and the person who is "it" walks around tapping each player on the head, saying "duck" for each one.

The chosen goose then gets up and chases "it" around the circle, trying to tag them before they can sit in the goose's spot. Therefore, the correct answer is "The Goose."

    If you go "Nil" in "Spades", what is the amount your partner can bid?

    • 26

    • 13

    • 52

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    If you go "Nil" in "Spades", it means that you are bidding to take no tricks at all in the game of Spades. This is a risky bid as it requires a strong hand and good communication with your partner. If you successfully go "Nil", your partner can bid a maximum of 4 tricks. This is because the total number of tricks in a game of Spades is 13, and if one player goes "Nil", the maximum number of tricks that can be bid by their partner is reduced to 4.
