Key Card Blackwood


A version of the Blackwood convention in which the king of the agreed trump suit is counted as an ace, making for a total of 5 Aces.  The responses are:


5  -  0 or 5 Key Cards

5  -  1 Key Card

5  -  2 Key Cards

5  -  3 Key Cards

5  -  4 Key Cards


If there is no agreed trump suit, some pairs play the last suit bid before the 4NT call is the key suit.
