Blindfold Games are entertainment apps provided as a service to the visually impaired community by Objective Ed. Your in-app upgrades pay for the development and support of these games.  Spades is a fully accessible Spades card game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play. Spades is a trick taking game where the spade suit is always trump. First you decide how many tricks you will be able to take, and you bid that amount. You play against 2 computer players who also bid how many tricks they think they can take. You score highest if you make exactly the number of tricks that you bid, and you lose the most if you don't make at least the number of tricks that you bid. A help on how to play Spades is included with the app. You can customize the game to your liking: how much extra information is spoken and how quickly it is spoken, how many sound effects are used amongst other things. And you can post your high scores to Twitter or Facebook. There is a STARTER PACK in-app upgrade that unlocks all advanced features and lets you play with 3 or 4 computer opponents. There are 2 extra games packs available as in-app purchases. ## Key features - Fully accessible audio play - Trick-taking gameplay - Bidding system - Customizable audio feedback - Included gameplay help - High score posting ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Starter Pack | $4.99 | one-time | | Games Pack #1 | $4.99 | one-time | | Games Pack 2 | $4.99 | one-time | | Unlock Competitors | $1.99 | one-time | | Bundle | $11.99 | one-time | | Half-Priced Bundle | $7.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (4 of 4) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/blindfold-spades/id990432030/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Good *2024-08-07* This is a nice app to play. My only issue with it is the scoring is somewhat confusing. It seems to carry your score over when you start a new game, so that’s not amazing because it’s confusing, but the app itself is fine. It was easy to figure out how to play, and as a spades lover, I’m glad to be able to play this without having to use cards. ### 2/5 — Does not work with current iOS *2021-03-07* Does not work with iPhone 12. All I get is direct touch area when I try to do anything. Also I was hoping that this app would eventually have a two player mode very disappointed that it does not. ### 3/5 — Very unstable *2016-05-28* Ver good game when it works. Gestures do not always work. Other apps have had problems, but they fix them. Lack of three finger swipe could be overcome with a button. I shall noy buy any more until all bugs are fixed. Rotor etting mentioned does not appear to exist. Where is it. Please post replies to Apple viz. ### 4/5 — Two Player Mode *2015-08-13* This app would be five stars if it had a two-player game center mode. ## Frequently asked questions about Blindfold Spades ### What is Blindfold Spades?
