Absolutely Terrible Game
I have played this game many times because I love Spades, but my frustration with playing with a partner who is an imbecile with no understanding of the game has finally done it for me and I am looking for a different app. I have beaten the game over 90% of the time, but only because I set it to 750 to give me enough time to make up for my partner’s mistakes and have learned how to compensate for its terrible playing. None of the computer players are smart and it may be fine for a total beginner just learning the game, but my partner has no understanding of the bag rule or bidding or playing against nils. You have no idea how frustrating it is to smell out where the nil player has a problem only for your partner to trump when the nil player has the trick. And it neither covers you when you go nil or ever makes a nil since it will go nil on anything, even a two-card suit headed by a king, even when you are winning the game. I find myself constantly cussing my partner, which is of course ridiculous, but I am not sure how the programmer made my partner so dumb? And if the game is close, the computer has no understanding of scoring. For instance, in a situation where we have to bid 5 together or lose the game, it will bid 3 or 4 when combined with my bid so that you can turn the game off there. If I could give it zero stars I would.Show lessPartner doesn’t adapt to the circumstances
The partner in this game doesn’t play like they are your partner. It doesn’t take tricks when it could when you go nil. Regardless of whether we took all our tricks it persists in taking all the tricks it can instead of getting rid of high cards once we got what we came for, so you end up with a lot of bags. The good news is you get good at playing with an inconsiderate partner lol. The only way it acts like a partner is most of the time if you will clearly take a trick, it will let you take it when it could. But it runs around leading spades with medium cards before you get your meld on the regular (unnecessarily - it still has other suits and it has all its tricks) and welp, there went your safety. It’s not always trying to upsell you, so that part is nice.Show lessPartner
This is a fun game but your partner is the absolute worst. The computer programming makes your partner an absolute idiot. They are a burden and just plain dumb. Who throws a low card when you are betting nil and has a high card in their hand? Who throws an off suit card when they have tons of spades to cover you? Who is just an absolute piece of junk? If this were real life my partner would be playing solitaire alone in a corner cause they are not an asset at all. Any who, if you want to download this game that’s great, but keep in mind, your partner is getting paid under the table to ensure you are not successful. Your partner is like the guy who doesn’t tell anyone they were bit by a zombie. Your partner is the person that eats all the corners and edges of all the brownies. Your partner is the person that doesn’t leave you a piece of pizza. Do better.Show less
