Improve your skills and become a Spades pro! Spades Card Classic has three different difficulty settings so you can work your way up to playing like a pro. You can also play either as an individual or in partners mode. Statistics are kept for wins and losses so you can see yourself improving over time. All cards are dealt randomly to all players, so the difference between the Easy, Standard, and Pro computer players is in how they choose to play the cards they are dealt. A hint button can be turned on to help you see how the computer Pro player would handle your current situation.

Great and quick

Pleased!!!!!!!
The game is very addictive and the app is so clean and moves quick HOWEVER, I’ve noticed after having this app for a while a pattern of fixed games contrary to another persons opinion I saw. Pay attention to how the games player Charlotte VERY OFTEN BID 0 BOOKS and watch how you’ll see that computerized player CONSTANTLY AND PURPOSELY THROWING AWAY HIGH CARDS THAT ARE BOOKS BASICALLY SABOTAGING THEIR HAND TO NOT GET BOOKS AND GET PENALIZED 100 pts but the live player (me) can actually NOT HAVE BOOKS AND THE GAME WILL SET IT UP WHERE I FOR EXAMPLE LEAD OUT WITH A 7 OF CLOVES AND THE COMPUTERIZED PLAYERS WILL PLAY A 2, 3, and 5 OF CLOVES WHICH WOULD CAUSE ME TO WIN A BOOK AND GET SETBACK -100 PTS. BUT WAIT😱 AFTER THEY SET ME UP TO WIN WITH A MISLEY 7 OF CLOVERS THESE COMPUTERIZED PLAYERS WILL LATER IN THAT SAME HAND START PLAYING THEIR HIGH CLOVERS. That’s not right and very bias and needs to be fixed especially if the developers start to make this a bigger game where real money is involved

My bot partner has trumped my ace with a spade multiple times. This was the last straw. I deleted the app right after this happened. Human players would never do that during normal game play. No other spades game app does this!!!Also, cards are not dealt randomly. My partner and I are outbid and outscored almost every round. It is not a difference of 10 points, either. It is a difference of 20-40 points every round. After we have two successful nil bids, we are still behind by 50 points! Usually, when we bid nil, our opponents will get great cards and total 90 or 100, which is a glaring example because when they bid nil, my partner and I don’t get great cards and usually only score 60-70. I only have two options to try to win, set my opponent or sandbag to penalize them. Also, bots do not adapt. They are predictable every single round. Humans play different when they are covering a nil bid. No human player would ever lead out with a 2 or 3 unless they knew their partner had exhausted that suit. I have been burned several times and other reviews have mentioned the same issue. Plus, saving spades and facecards to the very end instead of using them to make your bid is backwards but that’s what my bot partner does and I actually have to work to prevent extra books. I often lead out with spades to try to exhaust them. I am done.

The pros in this game always get dealt 5 6 7 and 8 hands. I have played this game for a while now and I have yet to get dealt a 7 or 8 hand. When one of the others plays nil and starts with a high card the rest ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS will take it instead of setting that person. If you have ANY and I mean ANY spades in your hand DO NOT bid nil because they will use all their spades and leave you set at the end. The scoring also seems off. If you do get a nil bid and have twice or three times as many points as the rest they will catch up quickly because you get crap to bid on. Also when you play partners your own partner screws you by trumping in and taking your point. This game is ridiculous. 99% of the time you cannot bid over a 1 or 2 because you get dealt NOTHiNG to bid with and the other 3 ALWAYS get 5 6 7 and 8 hands. It is so unbalanced it is not funny. No I don’t expect to win but Jesus half a chance would be nice. Don’t play partners you can do better by yourself.

My opinions only ! Don’t track me down and sue me !!!Nice interface and no annoying real people. Ad after each hand but it’s short. As others mentioned AI has some issues. It will frequently pass an opportunity to stick your opponents in partners who have bid Nil, even when the trick isn’t necessary to making your own bid. The AI also often over plays or over trumps you on last play of a trick when the trick is already yours and they had other cards to play. AI could use a “Champion” level. Any decent player will eventually win every game against Pro in singles or partners. The other two levels are extraordinarily easy to beat and would only be interesting to a novice. Oh, to the commenter who thinks sandbagging is confusing or broken, sorry, the sandbagging penalty works perfectly. You ( or you and your partner in doubles ) hit ten sandbags ( unbid points ) and you go down 100. To track it, just watch your single digit points. When it reaches zero ( for having reached 10 sandbags ) you’re penalized. A nice improvement would be an option to go down if you miss your bid. Some people play spades that way. But otherwise, nice. Had really been looking for a decent version without mandatory real people.
