What is Spades?
Spades is a partnership trick-taking card game built around bidding, trump control, nil attempts, and team scoring.
Async and live tables
Play Spades Online on MyTurnYet
Play Spades online on MyTurnYet with asynchronous tables, bids, nil and blind nil options, team scoring, and trick-taking play.
Why it works asynchronously
Spades fits async play because bidding and trick decisions can be considered carefully without forcing every player online at once.
Rules summary
- Bid the number of tricks you expect to take before play begins.
- Spades are trump and cannot be led until broken unless only spades remain.
- Meet your team bid, manage bags, and use nil or blind nil bids when the hand supports it.
Current implementation status
Spades is available for table setup and play testing with bidding, blind nil support, trick play, team summaries, and generic card-table rendering. Full public match starts open on August 1, 2026.
