Game is harder than previous reviewer implied. In auction it is often worth bidding to control the trump suit. I agree that simple mode should have either a bag penalty at 2 or a penalty for 5 or more bags total. <br/><br/>Also AI really should be improved. The comp players should try to get their own nil bids. I had one computer pop bid nil with Ace of Spades in his hand. Bad programming! Also comp players never try to set other pops when they bid nils.<br/><br/>Still, a good game.

A really fun game.

Addictive, challenging, surprisingly deep strategy card game. The interface is attractive and functional. I find this to require the perfect amount of challenge and brain power when I am on the train coming home after a long day. Doesn't require the kind of focused energy that Scrabble or timed word games demand, but is definitely not a rote solitaire game, either.

Not the best gameplay...

I really like the layout of the game...however the actual gameplay is lacking for me. <br/>First off, there are no penalties for going over your bid or (in auction) no bonus for making your bid. This creates issues in both games, particularly in auction where there is zero incentive to bid since your score is the same regardless, and simply based on tricks taken.<br/>Also, as in all spades games, the AI is terrible. they make no effort to make there own nil bid (saving their highest cards until the end) nor attempt to stop anyone else's nil bid. And again with no bag penalties it is just a matter of taking as many tricks as you can with no other strategy involved.<br/>I only leave this review because I do like the layout and UI. My hope is some small updates to gameplay might keep this game on my device. Thanks.
