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!

Comments on Spades for Android

★★★★★ Monica · Dec 25, 2025

This is the first Spades game I played years ago on my android devices and have played many other Spades games on android afterward. This one is the only one that has the game play and rules of the true way that Spades are played. It's like playing at the table with real opponents. Thanks for staying true to the game. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

★★★★★ HP Wombat · Jan 18, 2026

Fun and easy take on Spades. Ads aren't invasive, difficulty varies based on who you choose. Best Spades game I've played on the phone

★★☆☆☆ Tony Laurent · Nov 29, 2025

It has potential to be pretty good, as it lets you assign the level of intelligence for your opponents and partner. However, none of your partners will cover your nill bid no matter their intelligence level... Unless by accident! They make the lower level partners actually sabotage you. Basically if you are bored it's a fun free game. If you are a serious spades' player, be prepared to curse a lot as the AI on this game is counterintuitive.

★★☆☆☆ Susan Werthem · Dec 12, 2025

Computerized players do not play at all correctly. My partner will play a spade when I have obviously won trick and computer player was last play. Opponents' plays are nonsensical.

★★☆☆☆ Tim · Nov 30, 2025

Weak play. Very poor nil support. Aggressive and foolish nil bidding even when set to the lowest level. Frequent head scratching moves by my partner. As an example, our opponent bid nil, we know they don't have clubs, so why are you leading clubs and letting them throw off an ace?? At least one or two of these every game. Whoever programmed this would be very easy to beat. Also, no option to waive bags when bidding nil. Gave it a 2 because nothing better out there, sadly.
