A standard pack of 52 cards is used ranked from highest to lowest: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
The four players are in fixed partnerships, with partners sitting opposite each other. The first dealer is chosen at random, and the turn to deal rotates clockwise. The cards are shuffled and dealt clockwise.
The player to dealer's left leads any card (except a spade). Each player, in turn, clockwise, must follow suit if able; if unable to follow suit, the player may play any card. A trick containing a spade is won by the highest spade played; if no spade is played, the trick is won by the highest card of the suit led. The winner of each trick leads to the next. Spades may not be led until either some player has played a spade, or the leader has nothing but spades left in hand.
The side which reaches 500 points first wins the game.

Poor bidding

Opponents tend to routinely under bid hands. Also the game locks up when computer is losing.

Great game. I would like to be able to play many styles. Like joker, joker, deuce. Instead of the straight suit spades.

Seems like the other players (seats) always hVe all the spades. In 5 hands I've had 2 times with (1) spade. Also my (mate) trumps me all the time. I do not feel that the game should block out suits not being played. I should be able to throw a 2 of spades to trump the hand when all I have in current suit is very low. I would have that option in real spades.

I love the game except my partner (computerized) does not understand the concept of going NIL and when I go Nil it's my partner most of the time that burns me. Did the computer programmer not understand the game?

Is there an ad-free Spades Free because I can't see my bid because its covered up by the ad at the bottom of the screen
Unfair advantage
Blindsided3
The game is set up that The player Ann often overbids her hand and cuts her partner which results in you losing points. I started paying more attention and noticing that sometime your winning books are given to the other team. The other team holds out by not playing the suits that is called. You can't do that because you are blocked from playing any other card if you have a card from the suit that is played. I don't want to play that way because in a real game it is called reneging and you lose books. I have enjoyed playing the game but all the advantage is given to the other partners team. It becomes very frustrating because the computer knows what you have in your hand. Hoping that when updates they make the game fairer to play.
Good game

However Ann my partner has horrible eyes & face I have to look at - should be able to pick what our partners look like she also overbids which causes me to try to underbid so we don't loose the hand- all 3 trump there partners all the time & none of them know what a 'nil' bid is & I get so frustrated when my partner starts taking books I just turn the game off!!! I never get the hands that the other 3 consistently get & my partner never leads off in a way that communicates to me what she's got & then she trumps me all the time. Very frustrating at times!!!
