Spades Card Classic 4+

The game is very addictive and the app is so clean and moves quick HOWEVER, I’ve noticed after having this app for a while a pattern of fixed games contrary to another persons opinion I saw.
Pay attention to how the games player Charlotte VERY OFTEN BID 0 BOOKS and watch how you’ll see that computerized player CONSTANTLY AND PURPOSELY THROWING AWAY HIGH CARDS THAT ARE BOOKS BASICALLY SABOTAGING THEIR HAND TO NOT GET BOOKS AND GET PENALIZED 100 pts but the live player (me) can actually NOT HAVE BOOKS AND THE GAME WILL SET IT UP WHERE I FOR EXAMPLE LEAD OUT WITH A 7 OF CLOVES AND THE COMPUTERIZED PLAYERS WILL PLAY A 2, 3, and 5 OF CLOVES WHICH WOULD CAUSE ME TO WIN A BOOK AND GET SETBACK -100 PTS. BUT WAIT😱 AFTER THEY SET ME UP TO WIN WITH A MISLEY 7 OF CLOVERS THESE COMPUTERIZED PLAYERS WILL LATER IN THAT SAME HAND START PLAYING THEIR HIGH CLOVERS. That’s not right and very bias and needs to be fixed especially if the developers start to make this a bigger game where real money is involved

My bot partner has trumped my ace with a spade multiple times. This was the last straw. I deleted the app right after this happened. Human players would never do that during normal game play. No other spades game app does this!!!

Also, cards are not dealt randomly. My partner and I are outbid and outscored almost every round. It is not a difference of 10 points, either. It is a difference of 20-40 points every round. After we have two successful nil bids, we are still behind by 50 points! Usually, when we bid nil, our opponents will get great cards and total 90 or 100, which is a glaring example because when they bid nil, my partner and I don’t get great cards and usually only score 60-70. I only have two options to try to win, set my opponent or sandbag to penalize them.

Also, bots do not adapt. They are predictable every single round. Humans play different when they are covering a nil bid. No human player would ever lead out with a 2 or 3 unless they knew their partner had exhausted that suit. I have been burned several times and other reviews have mentioned the same issue. Plus, saving spades and facecards to the very end instead of using them to make your bid is backwards but that’s what my bot partner does and I actually have to work to prevent extra books. I often lead out with spades to try to exhaust them. I am done.

Designed by idiot geeks who don’t even know how to “play” the “game” of spades! This program has one purpose! To screw the human! The only way to actually win, is by applying the mathematical rule of “Addition by Subtraction”! If you continue to underbid your hand, like the AI bots do, you can force the bots to take overtricks and they end up going down, while you inch your way to victory! Now, if you can stand looonnng, drawn ooouutt plays, eventually you can win! The program is bad enough, but the bots will renege, lead spades before they have been broken AND, when all else fails, the number of spades suddenly can go as high as 14, just to make the sure the bots defeat the human! On other occasions, there will be only as many as 10 spades, so that the bots won’t end up taking overtricks! It is also stupid to see the bots bid 1 and then have the ACE, KING AND QUEEN OF SPADES! Let’s see, that automatically THREE TRICKS! Then there is the round where a bot will bid BIG and then manage to only take 10 TRICKS! So, you have to ask yourself, if they program the spades indiscriminately, what about the rest of the suits? How do you even know if they (use a whole deck)? Personally, I prefer playing the “game” with friends, Mano O Mano, and see if you can outwit a human, instead of getting screwed by a computer program!
