Summary of major new engine work completed in this new version:
4 years after the original release of Spades Free, we are happy to announce our single greatest improvement in play quality, after a prolonged period devoted just to Spades. This has always been a collaborative project shared with York University and has combined the best of AI research with game industry engineering to achieve the best result so far. In this last period particular attention was paid to bidding and the Nil game, but we also made substantial progress in the Joker variants and efficiency of the analysis. We believe that the end product was worth it. Discover the updated play for yourself!
This free version is supported by 3rd party ads. Ads may use internet connectivity, and therefore subsequent data charges may apply. The photos/media/files permission is required to allow the game to save game data to external storage, and is sometimes used to cache ads.

The game is great. I read reviews saying it cheats and this and that. The only problem that seemed legit was a partner leading a 2 when you bid nil. The rest seemed to come from the human player trying to set the other team and not understanding the game well enough to realize the AI (partner) is trying to avoid books. Maybe adding some AI players that play both ways depending on if book penalty is on or off.

Nil becomes impossible with bad partner. It seems the AI prioritizes their bid over covering the partner's nil bid. Seems like it would be easy enough to tweak, but right now, it's almost unplayable. I just had a game where my partner played perfectly, but as soon as he picked up his third trick, he led out a 2 of clubs while having much higher cards in his hand. It caused me to lose my nil on a 4 of clubs. This happens so often that I don't think I'll play this anymore.

Thank you for your review. We have worked over the lifetime of the app to improve AI players, and analysis of years of beta reports show that AI player always has a valid reason for its decision, eg if 2 nil bids, partner may be trying to break opponent's nil. Creating human-style play in card games is difficult so AI is still a work-in-progress.

Controls are a little unresponsive. I sometimes have to tap the screen several times to play the card I want. Other than that the game is good. Nice variety of rules options and AIs. Edit: lost a star. When I select that I want the sound off, that also means that I don't want a maddeningly loud and obnoxious ad to play as soon as I start, what I expect to be, a silent game!

We're sorry you're seeing problems with the app. We've not seen any problems with cards not playing but will look out for it during testing here. We set all available filters to stop sound but not all ad networks allow silent ads. To keep ads silent, please turn off Media volume only on your device settings. Paid version has no ads.
