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 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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

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
★☆☆☆☆Michael Carroll· Jun 24, 2026
Worst spades game on the market. Example: I turned off the Nil because the computer would go Nil 3-4 times a game a win 8 out of ten times. The moment I do that the computer starts bidding 8 books a hand and out of 5 games my partner enter a bid of 1 literally 13 times!!!! Almost every hand I would bid 2 maybe 3 books and the computer was bidding 7-8 almost OVERHAND. One time we bid 10. We had it, but my partner cut me using and Ace of spades when it had lower spades to cut with. Pathetic
★★☆☆☆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.
