Hands down is the best spades game I have ever seen!!! Hands down is the best I have ever played!! The AI is awesome and is nearly bug free! If you like Spades you'll love playing this game. The AI is so good it plays better than some people I played with!! If you like playing Spades I'm sure you'll love playing this game!! 2/6/26: What did u folks do? Suddenly the game comes to almost complete halt! This spinner just appears and freezes game. Used to love but now can't really play. Fix please!

My AI partner doesn't play according to my game settings. Bags cost 10pts each. My AI partner does not know how the sandbag. It wins tricks when it shouldn't. At lowest blind nil setting my AI partner bids way too many blind nils. And will bid a nil with top trump cards in its hand or with 4 trump cards. Play used to be decent but gradually has become poor. And the new blind nils bid is horrible. Guess it's time for a different app.
