Our Expert Score

85/100

Spite & Malice is a masterclass in how to translate a classic competitive patience game to the mobile screen. As an expert in card game mechanics, I was immediately struck by how smoothly the interface handles the complex layout of player stacks, side piles, and center stacks. The AI provides a genuine challenge without feeling like it’s 'cheating,' forcing you to think several moves ahead to block your opponent’s progress while clearing your own pay-off pile.

The game excels in its pacing; rounds are quick enough for a commute but deep enough to satisfy seasoned strategists. The visual presentation is clean and professional, avoiding the cluttered 'casino' look of many competitors. If you enjoy games like Skip-Bo or Solitaire but want a more aggressive, head-to-head experience, this is easily one of the best iterations available on the App Store. It’s a polished, reliable digital version of a timeless classic.

Spite & Malice is an addictive card game for two players, often compared to Skip-Bo. The goal is to be the first player to move all the cards from your pay-off pile into the center building stacks. Use your hand, side piles, and the common center piles to strategize and block your opponent. This version features multiple difficulty levels, beautiful card designs, and an intuitive interface that makes playing a breeze for beginners and experts alike.
