Popular convention in the game of Bridge to determine if the side has enough controls to play in a slam.

Generally a bid of 4NT asks partner to respond with an artificial bid dependent on the number of aces he holds.

The most popular variation is Key-Card which counts the king of the implied trump suit as a key-card. Other variations allow for more than one key suit in which they king counts as a key card.
1S - 2H - 4NT

4NT is Blackwood. According to which variation you are playing you are asking for aces only or possibly the presence of the king or spades or king of hearts as well as a keycard.

Get the Blackwood mug.
A township on the outskirts of Melbourne in the forested Central Highlands region. Once the home of wealthy retirees and people who choose an alternative lifestyle. It is now overrun by crass 'westies' and tattooed rednecks.
Probably the most over-policed township in Australia. An example of how far it has fallen is evidenced by the fact the Post Office is located in the Pub; one has to walk over vomit puddles to check ones mail.
I sure hope this beautiful township of Maldon doesn't turn into another piece of shit like Blackwood!
