Very fun game
Sun Aug 16 2020 Hooded Qobra Ent.I love this game, it is my favorite spades game I have tried...visuals are nice, it’s fun... only gripes are my partner messes up a lot, and on hard I still win like 19 out of 20 times, on the hardest level it’s to simple for me...one time out of twenty that I will lose, is mostly cuz I may have one bad hand and then blind nil multiple times in a row and not get it, and even then I will most of the time catch up and just barely lose...there needs to be a harder mode, a better partner, maybe the ability to pick different partners...and if multiplayer was available that would be fun too...but all that said, I still give it 5 stars cuz it is fun, I have the hearts from this company too and that also is excellent...
Random Deal, Please!
Wed Feb 21 2024 batkissThis is not a review; it is a suggestion. I believe this is a great Spades game and I have played many, many hands. I realized early on that the game was in ‘teaching mode’ because once my partner and I got in sync and were winning consistently, the opposing team began getting more and more amazing hands dealt to them. And, yes, it is a learning process, and you learn to get around that by making the right (low) bids, but, eventually, it becomes very boring. However, after a period if time in that mode, and when you think it couldn’t get any worse, the opponent team began getting most, if not all, of the spades, making it next to impossible to win unless you play using the Blind Nil option and are very lucky. Needless to say, I’m now searching for alternative apps. But, before I go, I am suggesting that a random deal option be made available and that you let the cards fall where they may!
Love Spades and developers did great
Tue Feb 12 2019 Gloryrevealed7I love the game Spades. But, there’s room for improvement. Megan really needs to learn how not to cut her partner. I also hate that the opponents under bid and Megan has under bid several times.
If we are going to be partners we need to act like it. Also, my issue is that everyone can play a spade at first but I cannot. Also, my greatest critique is you can’t play spades without a hand of spades. I realize it’s not guaranteed but it would be nice. At the same time, I know I sound negative, but the game is well made. Your not asking for money like some of these games. I paid for no ads and glad that I did. I like that I’m at least playing with opponents. I don’t have FB, I wish developers would considered Twitter to add friends to play. Keep up the great work and thank you for making one of my favorite games. I love the game/app 👏👏
Fun game
Wed Jun 14 2017 Ironhead fanWish you could still pass two cards on blind nil like on the free version. Enjoy not having be disturbed by all the stupid adds on
The free version. No more interruptions. Just would have thought if you buy something it would have same features as free version. Glad to see they finally listened and now you can pass two cards on blind nil
Megan is not all playing with a full deck 🙄
Wed Nov 25 2020 TheantimeganThe game is very good! The best Spades app I’ve played so far. However, even though we win about 3/4 of our games l, Megan is a very frustrating partner. She often seriously underboss and continues taking unnecessary tricks when the possibility of settling the opponents has passed. She also seem to bid with no awareness of the game situation. Particularly annoying is when she bids nil when we are a few hundred points ahead and nearly at 500.
I don’t know anything about programming so maybe it’s not possible to correct these things and still maintain the level of play.
On another note, would it be possible to move
Braindead Partner AI Ruins This One
Sun Nov 26 2023 Bda0012The amount of times the numbskull partner AI bags the team out trying to set the other team, or busts my nil, throwing low, causing me to get caught, and then immediately tosses out a king or Ace of that same suit to win their book, infuriates me.
Great time-waster, but you’re better off with a spades game with online capabilities, to play with other people that know how to properly play Spades. I really wish the partner AI was better.
I just lost my second game in a row because we bagged out twice throughout the game, and the other team had 9 bags for most of the game, but my partner thinks it’s playing Hungry Hungry Hippos, gobbling up every book they can, even when they call 1 or 2 books.
Excellent Game But…
Fri Dec 03 2021 Howard300cdLet me preface this by saying I am by no means the best spades player out there, but I do have an issue with how the game plays. My issue is with my computer partner, who at times, makes what I would call “bonehead moves.” For example, sometimes when I play a clear winner (i.e. an ace card), my partner sometimes cut me, for no apparent reason.
My only recommendation for improvement for this game would be to improve the “artificial intelligence” for the computer partner, to play smarter.
Opponents never bid blind nil
Tue Apr 16 2019 Letters for funGreat app if you always want to win. The computer opponent never bids blind nil. Since you as the player can bid blind nil once you are down by 100 points, you can almost always overcome any deficit to win. Also, the computer players will always try to “set” the other team no matter how many bags you have. This is very frustrating. I’ve played many games where the opposing team will bid 4 and my computer partner will set them racking up tons of bags. Overall, not a bad app if you just want to play spades alone without much strategy.
Needs a couple of improvements
Mon Apr 05 2021 Lk in AustinFirst do the programmers who wrote this game really know how to play? Because the partner of the player makes some really terrible plays quite frequently. Second why doesn’t the other team get an opportunity to play blind nello or nil like you do? In order to make the game fairer, you should add that feature, and when you are playing on the “hard” level, all players should really know how to play. Megan throws away spades right and left!
Well Done
Sun Dec 13 2020 ron5657I appreciate the complexity it took to put this ap together. It was well done. Things that should be corrected -
* The appearance was altered recently and it looks bad with smaller icons in a brighter screen I prefer the original appearance that looks like it’s backgammon and counterpart
1. Ability to change partner name, sex, ethnicity
2. Partner ability to play blind nill - when a bet of 0 or 00 is made the partner must always play high. Currently this is not programed into the partner. Example - partner wins hand then follows up with a Duce of spades
3. Blind 6 or Blind 7 with the ability to swap the lowest two cards for the highest two cards
4. To bid 10 for 200 points, and a BOSTON
5. Friends with same app having the ability to play friend!
6. The ability to confer with my partner after initial bid so as not to get extra books
