Summary of major new engine work completed in this new version:

4 years after the original release of Spades Free, 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!

Ratings and reviews

Updating again the game is now going to black screen. I go out of it and still blank when I open again I'm updating my review. It seems better but freezes still. I have to restart my phone to play. I'll check for updates... This game is no longer fair or fun. Was my favorite game for a long time. Changes and updates have made it too frustrating to play. Also, certain ads that show at the bottom of the screen cause the cards to hesitate and game will freeze. It really isn't fun to play anymore.

Enjoyable game, but needs some work in logical play. You can choose to go nil and your partner will play you into going set by playing a low card, leading with a 3 or 4, when there are several cards of the same suit of higher value that can be played. Also, the opposing team seems to know exactly what needs to be played to set you, but if you undo the hand and set a lower bid, the way the hand is played out can be totally different.

I've been playing this game for years, but the past few months my partner, who's always been my partner, keeps bidding nil and losing, like every game. It's very frustrating and I'm about to call it quits. Rather go back to previous versions. Used to be a 5 star game. 2022 and still same issue, and add pop up ads, continously, like 7-8 in a row.
