Call break is a popular card game in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It is a 52-card game of tricks, trumps and bidding which is played by 4 players. It seems to be related to the North American game Spades and Spade plus.

The cards of each suit rank from high to low A-K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2. Spades is the default trump suit: any card of the Spade suit beats any card of any other suit.

Deal and play are counter-clockwise. To succeed, a player must win the number of hands called, or more hands than the call. If a player succeeds, the number called is added to their cumulative score. Otherwise the difference between hands won and called is subtracted. After the end of a pre-decided number of rounds, the winner is decided, the player with higher total points is considered as the winner of the game.
