Reviews
Interesting concept
Kjdev
I never played this card game before. It takes a bit to get used to. The only suggestion would be to refine the animations a bit more.
Interesting version of spade
inertialduke
Very simply made app, does the job of showcasing an variation of spade game. However, I think it really needs a multiplayer online mood for it to be fun. Less fun playing against computer in this case.
Great card game

Fun and addictive

This game is a super fun card game that is very addictive. I can't stop playing it and it is really a lot better and much better executed than other card games.
Nice Card Game

Graphics are pretty decent. But what makes this game amazing is the idea: It's really cool!
Not bad

Fun to see the cards flying everywhere :( needs more instructions though. I didn't have any cards matching the current suite and it wouldn't let me drag one on. Fun for a bit though.
