 A pass does not hinder any further play in the game, each being independent.When all but one of the players have passed in succession the trick is over, and the cards are gathered up and a new trick is started by the last player to play.When a player plays the 2 of spades either as a singleton or as part of a pair of 2s, it is often customary for that player to restart play immediately by leading a new card or combination, since the 2 of spades cannot be beaten whether as a singleton or as part of a pair of 2s, and the passes are mere formalities.
