Don't overbid, or you'll be set. But don't underbid either, or you'll be stuck with a bag! If you think you can duck all the tricks, go for a nil bid ... just make sure you're not holding the Ace of Spades. Great version of Classic Spades with rule variants like Cutthroat, four-player partners, Suicide, and Mirrors. Customizable items include backgrounds, card faces, card backs, and tables.

    Don’t download this one expecting anything more than a handful of variations of Spades, a cache of useless fooms, and a new age soundtrack that even Enya could hate. But if you like Spades enough, the quirky details of Hardwood Spades won’t matter much.

    There isn’t anything flashy about this title, but you have enough options at your disposal to vary the game. Given the low price tag (400 MS Points); this game will be a good pickup for Spades fans.

    Hardwood Spades is cheap, cute, competitive and worth the cash if you like team-based card games in the least.

    Hardwood Spades is a Spades game for Spades fans, but even fans of the card game will probably be a little put off by the dull graphics and sound.

    You can definitely find better options on your computer for free, so unless you are feinting for a Spades title on your TV, or are hardcore into Spades, you might want to look elsewhere.

    You can easily play it online or with a real deck of cards for free, and Spades offers little incentive to spend money on a digital version of it with a deserted online community and a lacklustre single player mode.

The Guides (goofballs) operate purely off of emotion and have no self control what-so-ever. They appear to be under-educated and uneducated. I am not making assumptions I am going off of what I have seen and experienced. They use bad grammar, give vague reasons for their actions and show extreme favoritism. It would appear that they like the fake power that was granted to them. If there is problem in the game they are never around to solve to issue and the quickest way I have found to get a guide is to use profanity in the lobby.

    Case in point from earlier this morning. I had a nic that was censored (PooOnMagaHats) and other nics like PussPleaser and AllLivesMatter were not. Maybe these nics were not caught yet, who knows....lol. However Texas_Lady and MOD, both of whom are guides, allow players to use profanity and nothing happens. I guess if you are friends with these guides you can get unlimited passes.

    I do not recommend this site and this is based solely off of the guides behavior, favoritism and lack of responsibility. Its also my opinion that Texas_Lady, MOD and 911Candy be REMOVED from the site in an effort to make it a fair and fun place to play again. Put some guides in place that will actually be guides and not buddy buddy with the players. There has to be a line otherwise this site will never increase in membership.    … Expand
