Spades vs Pedro!

Spades is a trick-taking card game that can be played with 3 players solo, 4 players solo, or 4 players with partners (2 teams of 2). A standard 52-card deck is dealt, then players bid the number of tricks they can take. The goal is to take as many tricks as were bid. When playing with partners, North/South is one team, West/East is the other, and teammates' bids and tricks are combined, so one player's underbid can compensate for his teammate's overbid. This app allows you to configure number of players and teams, the appearance of the table and cards, rules about nil bids and when spades can be lead. There are instructions included in the app, as well as a setting to make your robot opponents less aggressive or more aggressive.

WARNING: Being the "King" isn't enough; you must also get rid of the filth. You are cordially invited to play a game by your Highness, Emperor Pedro! Disgusted by the incompetence of his vassals, the megalomaniac Emperor Pedro has decided to perform a "Spring Cleaning" of the entire realm. He has destroyed the old kingdoms and gathered the survivors for one final test. The rules are simple, but the stakes are infinite: The survivor with the LOWEST score wins the crown. Everyone else dies. Welcome to Pedro!, a strategic card game of memory, bluffing, and ruthless tactics where having "less" means "more". HOW TO SURVIVE PEDRO'S COURT: In this twisted game, traditional values are inverted. The mighty King is worth -5 points (the best!), while the wretched Beggar burdens you with 12 points. Your goal is to end the game with the lowest total value in your hand. But there is a catch: You can't see your cards! MASTER THE 5 PHASES: • God’s Gift: Start with 5 mystery cards. You have only seconds to peek at two of them. Memorize them well; your life depends on it. • Nexus Point: Draw a card. Will you keep the General (1), discard the Peasant (11), or swap blindly? Every choice shifts the balance of power. • Limbo: A risky opportunity. Discard matching cards to shed weight, but be careful! One wrong move and you earn a penalty. • Zero Hour: The pressure mounts. If you run out of cards, the game ends instantly. • Endgame: Do you trust your hand? Press the PEDRO button to declare your dominance. But beware: you are vulnerable until the turn returns to you. KEY FEATURES: • Original Art & Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in a gritty world brought to life with exclusive illustrations. Meet the bloody Knight, the cunning Thief, and the sneaky Merchant. • Psychological Warfare: Read your opponents, bluff your way out of bad hands, and use Special Cards to swap hands or expose their secrets. • Multiplayer Mayhem: Challenge friends or strangers. Form alliances and break them in the blink of an eye. • Solo & Team Warfare: Fight for survival alone or team up in 2v2 Co-op mode. Coordinate with your partner, sabotage the opposing team, and work together to keep your scores low. • Easy to Learn, Hard to Master: Simple mechanics meet deep strategy.
