It’s a lil different from the actual card game I play. We play 20 cards in the pile, 5 in hand, and 5 rows for the discard piles. We layer the discard piles, so we can see what’s behind the last card placed. When a discard row empties, you MUST play a card to the empty spot, and then discard. Aces and 2s MUST be played, if there is a spot open, and only 4 spots are allowed for playing piles. Wilds can be used for any card except Aces and 2s, and you can not play 2 on top of each other. We learned this game from the Dominican Nuns in Grand Rapids, MI, and it’s a HUGE staple in our family for card games, at least 4 generations now! ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-01-28, version 4.1.18* It’s a fun game. After a while though it just gets slow. But it’s a great game. ### 4/5 — More players *2025-09-07, version 4.1.18* Would be more fun with more players off line please Susieq ### 3/5 — Ok *2025-04-12, version 4.1.17* It’s ok, just too simple. (For me) it’s a smooth game overall. Need some way to chat or send emotes. And some kind a levels or challenges. A way to invite friends. I. Trying a different one. But this one is ok simple. ### 5/5 — Vada *2024-09-22, version 4.1.17* This game calm my nerves ### 5/5 — Family Fun *2024-09-18, version 4.1.17* My wife and I play for hours at a time while the dogs jump on us. ### 5/5 — Game *2024-05-29, version 4.1.17* I like it ### 5/5 — Remove ads *2024-02-12, version 4.1.17* It’s a good game but too many ads I will pay for it to have no ads ### 2/5 — Too many adds *2023-12-23, version 4.1.17* Game is ok. Too many ads. There are better versions of this game available. ### 5/5 — Buy down ads! *2023-12-13, version 4.1.17* Great and fun game…….but I agree that you MUST PAY the $2 to GET RID of those annoying ads! ### 4/5 — S.v.p. *2023-09-18, version 4.1.17* Ajouter des statistiques s.v.p. Victoires - défaites ### 5/5 — Loved the game so I bought it! *2023-09-14, version 4.1.17* Stop complaining about ads and buy if you like it! I play for an hour if I want… it’s fun! Glad I bought it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very Buggy *2026-06-17, version 4.1.20* Since I’ve downloaded this game it’s “broken down” twice with the developers dropping the ball with not doing a thing to fix it in a timely manner. I had seen the same 6 names whenever I played, so either there’s no-one really playing (no surprise there) or they’re bots. ### 1/5 — Needs to be fixed *2026-02-19, version 4.1.18* This was a nice game, but a few days ago I received an error message when trying to play a multiplayer online game. No reply from support, no fix. Bye bye game. ### 1/5 — Poor game play *2025-06-26, version 4.1.17* The computer generated people get to play more then the person who downloaded the game. Most the time when it’s the downloaders turn all they can do is discard. Second there does not need to be ads after every round for any reason. Third the playing stacks are supposed to be 4 piles not 3 no matter how many players and stock pile size. The player should be able to see all the cards in the discard pile not just the top one. It would be nice to have a chance to play instead of only being able to discard every turn. You guys have a lot of work to do to improve this game. ### 1/5 — Won't work on my new iphone 16 *2025-06-15, version 4.1.17* Stops loading at 90% Unloaded and reloaded multiple times. Still won’t open. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-02-18, version 4.1.17* This is not the way Spite and Malice is actually played! First , there should be 4, not 3, middle stacks for playing. Second, you should be able to see all the cards in your discard pile not just the top one. In the real game, you might have 4, 5, 6 or more cards in each pile and you want them stacked in some kind of descending order, so you need to see all of them. Third, which has nothing to to do with game play, the avatars are just stupid looking and totally unnecessary. All you need is a game player name, not a cartoonish picture. I didn’t even bother finishing the first game and deleting this immediately after finishing this review! ### 1/5 — To many ads! *2024-09-09, version 4.1.17* Can’t even get through 1 hand and there’s ads! Not just 1 but every 3 or 4 turns! Deleting it asap! No thank you! ### 1/5 — Ridiculous amount of ads *2024-02-26, version 4.1.17* Deleted app. Ads mid game are a joke ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2023-01-28, version 4.1.16* Love the game but most of the apps for this game just ruin it cos you get ads every second go I just found one that lets you play all the way through!!!!!! Played 2 games no ads yet- it’s the app with fiery demon and a few cards above his head and a couple below- only 3.5star rating but should be higher! Can’t remember h app name sorry! ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads. *2022-12-31, version 4.1.16* Far too many ads. I understand having ads before and/or after a game. But having multiple ads during a game is very much excessive. ### 1/5 — Love the game hate the freezing. *2022-05-22, version 4.1.13* Love this game , ads are annoying but the freezing every other hand is ridiculous. Game is up to date too, fix it and it’d be way better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-04-29, version 4.1.20* Fun to play whether you win or lose! ### 5/5 — Excellent Game! *2026-04-29, version 4.1.20* The best version of this By Far. My wife and I play it nightly. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-04-28, version 4.1.20* Fun game to play often ### 5/5 — One of my primary go-to games *2026-04-21, version 4.1.19* I really enjoy this app & it’s the main card game I go to when I want to pass some time. The game is engaging, layout is aesthetically pleasing, easy on my sensitive eyes, & well-designed overall. I’ve had this installed on my phone for quite a few years now. Paying to remove ads was a worthwhile investment, considering how often I play the game. ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2026-04-21, version 4.1.19* This game is entertaining and keeps challenging. I like how it can end up easier or more difficult randomly. ### 5/5 — Spite & Malice *2026-01-15, version 4.1.18* Very entertaining😃 ### 5/5 — It’s a great way to pass time. *2025-12-22, version 4.1.18* Love the easy way to play. I would recommend to everyone! ### 5/5 — I love this game sm *2025-10-08, version 4.1.18* This game is wonderful, it’s super accessible to play with friends and works offline. I don’t like that they added adverts but everything else is absolutely amazing I could literally play for hours ### 5/5 — Love *2025-09-12, version 4.1.18* I love this game, it’s very calming. ### 5/5 — Nice! *2025-06-25, version 4.1.17* I enjoy both Skip-Bo and this game, as they’re essentially the same. I find that the bot players are sufficiently challenging—I had to play something like 7 or 8 games before I won! This is a game of luck AND skill, and I find playing with bots to be very realistic. I’m glad that I took a chance on this app! It’s great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
