Spades Card Game · Wiki

You tweaked it just right!! Now I can say that it’s the best online spades game that I have come across. From time to time my partner Bot will make a questionable move, but for the most part, all of the plays are on point. The games are fast, exciting, and challenging. The tie breakers are nail biting!! I wish their was a review or favorites button to review some of the high intensity games that you really enjoyed playing. Nice work! 👍🏽💯

I love this game and it runs very well. The only problem is that after a couple of weeks playing an ad will lock up and I can’t get back to the game. I end up having to delete the app and re install it. This is pretty frustrating. I love Mobilityware games. They run well (except for the above mentioned as problem) and are of good quality. Thanks.

I really like the spades game BUT have the same problem with the ad for World Poker Game as the review on 7/30 labeled “Nice Game”. If you have multiple people complaining about this it would be nice if you would look into the problem . It won’t “x” off. If you try, it sends you to a search area. If you try to go back from that screen, you find yourself back at the World Poker Game ad. I can only delete the spades game and reinstall to access the game at that point. Then shortly after reinstalling, the ad comes up again and I am stuck again. It’s very frustrating and I hope something can be done about it.

I love this spades app and prefer it over any of the others. That said, two issues tug at me that I wish could be resolved. One, there is no bag counter for players to keep track if they have enabled the bag-penalty feature. The warnings are nice, but a counter in the corner of the player and opponents bags would help with strategy. Two, my teammate bot drives me NUTS and almost always cuts with a spade right after I’ve busted an opponents nil bid. Like almost every time. If these two items were addressed I believe I’d never download another spade app again.

I downloaded this app two days ago, and holy moly— I’m so addicted now that I’ve already made it to the Gold III tier… 😅😭 I love a lot of things about this app: For one, the names of the animal competitors are absolutely adorable—I mean, you’ve got Wooly the sheep, Gobbles the turkey, Waddles the duck, Scooter the snail, Pinky the flamingo, Vladimir the bat, Cobalt the wolf, Skylar the bird… freaking iconic. The other thing I love is the animations at the end of each game— I bet those took forever to make, but they’re awesome, and they even cheer me up when I know I just lost the game… I’ve seen each of them like three times in the past two days (gosh I have too much time on my hands 😭), but they still haven’t gotten old. My only complaint is the app freezes up quite often to the point where once it’s been frozen for like five seconds, the only solution is to exit out of it mid-game.

The game is really a lot of fun even though it’s kind of rigged, if my team bids NIL, the other team knows exactly what cards to play to set us, but it’s almost impossible to set their NIL. The rules I learned to play by states that when a NIL is played, the player bidding the NIL gets to pass their 3 best cards, and their teammate passes 3 cards back, also, when a team bids 10 tricks, they receive 200 points. It would be really great if the rules of play could be adjusted to make the game more official. Thank you and I hope to see the changes in the game.

Hi. I’ve played this app for several weeks now, made it to the final series, got three from top and can’t seem to get past that. Loose more than I win thanks to my avatar partner, regardless of who it is. It’s like the partners get careless with bids, plays etc. they always trump over my spades especially if I’ve already taken the trick. This quite often causes us to lose because my partner then is out of trump cards and could have made the difference if they hadn’t played over my trump. I left this app due to frustration but have not found a better set up so I’m back. Hope you will take what I and others have given as constructive criticism and make some positive changes. Thanks!

I play on the high difficulty level. My partner consistently under bids. I have to over bid to compensate or we take too many sandbags & end up with the 100 point penalty. Over bidding ruins my stats. Also, my partner doesn’t know how to set an opponent’s NIL bid. The opponent who had bid NIL played third that trick and played the highest card & should have been set, but my partner trumped the trick! He then went on to catch two sandbags by the time the round was over. He should have played off to set the opponent’s NIL and only caught 1 sandbag. He wasn’t left with nothing but Spades so it was possible to play off.

This game in the beginning seems to be legit. After a few games of give and take things slowly begin to change. The computer gets hand after hand of nils. Your partner and you get nothing that match and nil hands, with the ace of spades. You get hands that are 4 bids… you barely make… or don’t. Meanwhile the computer opponents bid out of each other’s hands and you are dealt nothing to stop them. In the beginning you win some, you lose some. Then it goes to they win most, you don’t win much. Soon it’s you lose most you hardly win any.

The interface is clean and efficient. Game play is fast and with out lag. However don't expect to win many games, the game engine won't allow it. Your opponent will always have a better hand, always. All you have to do is count the number of trump (spades) cards the opposing team gets. Your opponent will typically get a minimum of seven trump cards and usually all the face cards. On average it's more like nine to ten spades. You just can't win. Even if you don't get set the numbers will never be in your favor. About the only way to get an advantage is to bid nil. To bad. Not a bad game just don't expect to win much.

Great game, fix a few bugs. After playing for months on end the game is almost predictable. Your “partner” is just about useless I understand it’s a computer but your just about on your own. In competitive mode I understand it’s supposed to be hard but after playing I figured out the computer almost always knows what cards you have especially if you bid nil so you lose that round. Kinda annoying but after playing for months on end with almost no progress in the game almost given up. Tried to give it a shot but good fundamentals hence the two stars

The other team consistently gets dealt hands that they can bid 7 or 9 while my "partner" and I get 1,2, maybe 4 tops on 75% of the hands. Plus my partner is a bonehead often destroying my hand with a card instead of waiting to take the opponents hand. It's just not fun. I find it hard to believe that I get bad hands so much, where even if we all make our bids, the points we get are NEVER what the other team gets ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. The only way to win is to deny them points. We never get dealt strong hands. It's frustrating and needs to be fixed.

I have a similar issue to many others here. The AI is just horrible - especially my “partner”. I think I will look for another Spades game to play. Haven’t had this one for long, but to even have a chance at winning, you have to turn on “Bid Suggestions” - which is odd because 99% of the time, the suggested bid is the same that I would have put anyway, and even if I adjust it, I still have a better chance at winning the round than if I turn off the setting. This is with “Hard Mode” turned off. As others have stated, my AI partner is (for all intents and purposes) an idiot. If you know you can’t win the trick, you play your lowest card. When an opponent goes “Nill”, you play your lowest card to force them to take it. Nope. My opponent plays the highest card it has … nearly every single time.

Nothing hard about playing hard mode but I know this will not change. You simply rarely win because your AI partner is stupid. Doesn’t know how to trump opponent who bids nil when opponent has clearly won the hand. AI partner trumps me with a spade even when I’ve won a hand. AI partner more often than not over bids. AI partner bids nil while having all cards above the number 10 in multiple suits. No way to cover their hand. Another example is you get a hand with all cards below number 9. You can’t bid nil because you have one spade and it’s the ace and your AI partner only has 1 or 2 winning hands with the opponents having the rest. When this happens 2-3 times is a row it’s game over and you don’t stand a chance. You might win 1 out of 10 games. Very poor programming and shuffling !!
