Blackwood by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, you will be on the verge of bidding a slam, and you will have to go through the last step: Blackwood.

Remember, there are five keycards: the four Aces and the King of trumps. You need four of those five to be able to bid a small slam.

Good luck!
