Spades Seniors: Big Cards

Real Spades, the way you remember it — with cards big enough to actually read.

No ads. No coins. No accounts. Just you and your partner North against two crafty computer opponents in classic partnership Spades. Play with the Jokers (the Big and Little Joker are the top trumps, the red 2s sit out — kitchen-table style) or switch to a Classic 52-card deck. Works offline.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Everyone bids how many tricks they'll win — or bids Nil for a 100-point gamble
• Trailing by 100 or more? Bid Blind Nil before you look at your cards for 200
• Follow suit if you can; spades trump everything, and the Jokers trump every spade
• Make your team's bid: 10 points a trick, 1 point per extra
• Extra tricks become bags — collect 10 and lose 100 (or turn the bag penalty off)
• Play to 250, 500, 750 or 1000; optional "10 for 200" house rule

NEW IN THE LATEST UPDATE
• Shared Top 10 board: join with a nickname and compete with every Spades Seniors player, this week and all time (optional — nothing is sent unless you join)
• My Stats: wins, losses, streaks, Nil bids made and broken, bags
• Blind Nil, 10-for-200 and bag-penalty table rules
• Two levels of table talk: Smack Talk, or Trash Talk for straight-up insults
• Smarter partner: North stops chasing bags once your bid is made and no longer overtakes your winning cards
• Fair Deal: how the shuffle works, in plain words
• More Games from DJ's Puzzle Palace

MADE FOR COMFORT
• Big cards and big buttons, designed for phones and readable without squinting
• Tap a card to lift it, tap again to play — no more misplays from a crowded hand (can be turned off)
• Clear turn highlighting so you always know whose move it is
• LAST TRICK button shows who played what
• Your match score is saved — close the app, pick it up later

SMACK TALK (optional!)
Flip one switch and the computer players come alive: West is a cocky old-timer, East never misses a chance for a jab, and your partner North backs you up. All in good fun — turn it off any time for a quiet, classic game. Want it rougher? Trash Talk mode is straight-up insults, no mercy.
