There are also a lot of ads. so if you are really good at spite and malice and you are fine with ads every two seconds then this is for you. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR BEGINNERS. ### 5/5 — Great relaxing game *2026-07-22, version 3.1.9* Very relaxing Relaxing Relaxing ### 5/5 — Too many ads too often *2026-07-22, version 3.1.9* But, I’ve been playing this game for years. Haven’t found anything as close to this one. Just try not to have so many ads during the game. It didn’t used to be this bad. ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-21, version 3.1.9* There’s an ad after you play every time. Very annoying. Good game tho. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-07-20, version 3.1.9* Love this game ### 5/5 — Spite and malice *2026-07-14, version 3.1.8* Nice game to play. Love it ### 5/5 — Surprisingly Addictive *2026-07-14, version 3.1.9* I’ve only had this game a week or so but I find myself drawn to it. It’s not a hard game to play, but it’s challenging enough to stay interesting. Update: still playing! Still loving it 🥰 ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-13, version 3.1.9* Very relaxed and fun strategy game ### 5/5 — Brain Game!! *2026-07-12, version 3.1.9* Love it ### 5/5 — Spice and Malice *2026-07-10, version 3.1.9* Great game ### 2/5 — Ads out of control *2026-07-09, version 3.1.9* This used to be such a great game. Now ads interrupt you in the middle of playing like every other minute. ### 5/5 — Great, great game *2026-07-08, version 3.1.9* My SIL turned me onto this game and I’m haven’t quit playing yet! I do wish there were fewer ads, however ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-17, version 3.1.9* I had 4 ads play within 5 minutes. I was going to give this game another try, but I’m done. My time is too valuable to be interrupted so often. Great graphics, good game but my patience for it is gone. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-08, version 3.1.9* You play 2 to 3 turns and the ads run throughout the game. It’s ridiculous ### 1/5 — HATE THE ADS THAT ARE STUCK AND CANNOT GET OUT OF THEM!!!!!!!!! *2026-08-05, version 3.1.9* CANNOT GET OUT OF SOME THINGS F THE GAME ADS! ### 1/5 — POS *2026-07-18, version 3.1.9* Constantly glitches and disconnects when playing online App is never updated to fix bugs and update security issues when signing Lon ### 1/5 — Paid version is a rip-off *2026-07-15, version 3.1.9* The free version of this game includes three choices of skill level — easy, medium, and hard. The paid version includes a fourth level called “spiteful,” which I assumed meant it would be extra hard. But after having paid for it, I’m wondering if it really means, “We will take your money just to spite you.” I signed up for the paid version because the “hard” level on the free version had become too easy. But in the “spiteful” version, the app makes frequent, idiotic moves which allow me to win. It plays cards which would be considered amateur moves. It doesn’t play cards that would block me from winning. Basically, the app just lets me win a lot of the time. I didn’t pay for a more difficult version so that the app would let me win. Also, the paid version includes all of the same annoying advertisements as the free version includes. There is no way to take ads out of this game, even if you pay for it. I understand that app developers need to earn money somehow. But if they are going to charge money, they need to provide something of substance to the people who support them. I feel cheated. ### 1/5 — At odds! *2026-07-07, version 3.1.9* I have enjoyed this game for years and the amount of ads on the free site WAS not bad. There was an ad about every 20 minutes of play. Now, every 30 seconds! Come on guys, I know it’s free but can’t you pull back a bit? How about 5 minutes of play, then 60 seconds of ads? I’d love to give this game a higher rating but WAY TO MANY ADS!!! ### 1/5 — The ads are unbearable *2026-06-28, version 3.1.9* Sad you can’t even enjoy the game without 50 ads ### 1/5 — Not worth all the ads *2026-06-17, version 3.1.9* Ridiculous amount of ads, sometimes my turn was interrupted twice with an ad and there was always another ad after each of my turns! Not worth the wait to play a game. ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-06-15, version 3.1.9* I’m really baffled why this got such great reviews. There are so many ads. The longer you play the more ads there are. And not in between games, they are in the middle of trying to play. ### 1/5 — Was better than purchased *2026-06-12, version 3.1.9* The S&M free game, with ads but no bugs, was a much better game then my purchased S&M HD. Games do not show in menu for a week now....I have uninstalled several times... I also paid for the HD and both are the only games that have consistent problems. As I have said about, I have played this game for many years I paid for it and was always able to play off-line… Recently in the past few weeks I’ve been having a lot of problems with the game… I have uninstalled and installed many times. I finally get it installed again and I have nothing nothing but ads I get to play one move and it goes into a five minute ad. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Spite & Malice *2026-08-19, version 3.1.9* Great game lots of fun (keep out commercials) please. ### 5/5 — Don’t do it *2026-08-14, version 3.1.9* This is an addictive game that I introduced to everyone I know.

After getting an overview from her how to maneuver the cards I am really enjoying the challenge. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-31, version 3.1.9* Good game but too many double add intrusion Yes Too much waiting advertisements Game is great Would like to play with friends and more people!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
