Hearts and spades are for people who are too lazy to learn how to play bridge well.
Yeah, we're a big oh hell family - mainly from my wife's side. If someone can't remember if they've been to their cape house, they just ask them if they've ever played oh hell. If the answer's yes, it means that they've more than likely been there.
There's a big disagreement between two factions of the family on whether you can break spades on the first hand or not.
We go clockwise on bidding. Left of the dealer bids first, two left of the dealer leads the first hand. The "can't make the tricks work perfectly" rule is essential to the game and why it's called Oh Hell.

Fresh Market sushi is BOGO on thursday - at least the one 600 yards from my house does. Love that deal.
Tell me more about this. Is it a mix of sushi and sashimi ? Should i assume it's BOGO at all Fresh Markets ? I'm not going all they way down to Fairview Road when ther's a store on East Blvd.
Thanks! Lots of availability up and down the stretch.
Anybody have experience with Kill Devil Hills?
Too easy. Can't believe everyone has missed the actual best two person game. Doug? Mako? Anyone wanna take care of the light work?
Anyone else do the NYT crosswords? I feel like that’ll be a less than popular pastime among my age group. I got the app for free (donation gift for NPR contribution) a couple months back and I do the new one each morning. It’s definitely cut into my online cribbage time

break spades?
do you not change trump each hand?
yep - mistyped, meant trump (although the wife's family official changed it to the Roosevelt so both the libs and Mainer GOP types could agree on the name).
Yeah - Maine family allows someone to play trump on the first hand (still abiding by all other rules, etc), Mass family doesn't.
you can defs break on the first hand in my family
only hearts doesn't allow for breaking on the first hand for us
