About this game
★ Top Developer (awarded 2013 and 2015) ★
★★ Our biggest upgrade: May 2017. See end of description for full details! ★★
Spades has been substantially updated and is now much stronger, with a new bidding system. Its new game intelligence allows it to make creative plays that conventional programs cannot make, often breaking the usual rule-of-thumb to find new winning plans.
The new CPU players will now also talk to each other - and you - in speech bubbles and smile or frown to let you know how they feel!
Spades brings this classic 4-player contract trick taking card game to Google Play. Created to the same high standard as the rest of our games, Spades Free supplies classy graphics, super smooth gameplay, highly scalable difficulty & much more. Spades has never been so good!

★ Human and CPU player stats!
★ Undo & Hints
★ Game Rules & Help
★ Designed for both Tablet and Phone
★ Jokers, Barmore, NYC and Deuces available
★ In-game score help: tap end-of-hand scores for explanations

★ "Speed Play" option for fast games
★ "Aggression" option to make all CPU players bid more aggressively
★ In-game displays to help player track rules in use
Summary of major new engine work completed in this new version:
4 years after the original release of Spades, we are happy to announce our single greatest improvement in play quality, after a prolonged period devoted just to Spades. This has always been a collaborative project shared with York University and has combined the best of AI research with game industry engineering to achieve the best result so far. In this last period particular attention was paid to bidding and the Nil game, but we also made substantial progress in the Joker variants and efficiency of the analysis. We believe that the end product was worth it. Discover the updated play for yourself!

I love the interface. Best I've seen so far. My only complaint is my partner's poor situational awareness. CPU seems to go out of its way to lose by bags at critical moments, insisting on trying to set the opponent when it will cost us 100 just before winning. Or bidding nil when it's pointlessly risky. I know that contextual play is very hard to program. On the other hand, no smart human would play this way. I've tried all of the five star bots and a number of different settings on risk level.

Please join our beta program via support@aifactory.co.uk. Direct reports of any suspected bad play can then be examined properly. Almost all reports of bad play turn out to be good play but identifying any sub-optimal play can help us to improve the app.

The graphics are great and gameplay is good and I like all the options you can choose for the type of gameplay you want. I did find the game very frustrating as the AI seems to know exactly what cards to play. Opponents also never get bags as they play off just enough to give you the bags and and if you play off to much you will get set. I found the only way to have a chance is turn off Nils and have no bag penalties and my winning percentage went from around 25% to 50%

Thank you for the feedback. Please consider joining the Spades Free beta program via support@aifactory.co.uk to send direct reports of any suspect cpu play. Almost all reports turn out to be good play but egs of actual bad play help improve the app. We're sorry you've had so many bad hands but cards are shuffled randomly before each hand is dealt.

So, it's pretty obvious that the designers of this game have little experience in actually playing this game. It's a good app, overall, and is a good distraction and worth playing. But, none of the "characters" they've actually programmed are realistic. Most would have gotten their asses beaten to within an inch of their lives had they played the way they'd been "programmed" to play, and the rest would have stopped playing due to getting demoralized from being beaten all the time...

Thank you for your thoughts. Tester feedback has been positive about the cpu players but creating human-style play in card games is difficult so AI is still a work-in-progress and will improve. Please join beta program via support@aifactory.co.uk to send direct reports. Actual bad play is very rare but finding it can help us improve the app.
