Spite and Malice Card Game

Spite and Malice card game – the classic two-player race also known as Cat and Mouse – with big, clear cards, a fair computer opponent and no ads. Ever. No sign-in, no daily limits, no internet needed: play as many games of Spite and Malice as you like.

🃏 REAL SPITE AND MALICE RULES
• Race to play out your payoff pile before your opponent does
• Build the shared centre piles from Ace to Queen
• Kings are wild – they show exactly which card they stand for
• Play from your hand, your payoff pile or your four discard piles
• Play your whole hand and draw five fresh cards
• Finished piles are shuffled back into the stock
• Spite and Malice for 2 players – or 3 and 4 players, everyone for themselves

🏠 YOUR HOUSE RULES
Every family plays Spite and Malice a little differently. Pick Classic (20 cards), Quick game (13) or Long game (30) – or set the rules yourself: payoff piles of 13, 20, 26 or 30 cards, Kings and/or jokers wild, and whether discards may go anywhere or only on an empty pile or the same rank.

👀 BIG CARDS, EASY ON THE EYES
• Huge numbers in the middle of every card – in this card game only the rank matters
• Calm, modern colours instead of a loud casino table
• Your discard piles fanned out so you see every card
• "Next 7" under every centre pile, so you never have to count
• Relaxed, Normal or Quick game speed
• Tap a card, then tap where it goes – or drag it. Tap twice to play it where it fits
• Undo the plays of your turn

🤝 A FAIR COMPUTER OPPONENT
• The computer never looks at your hand, the stock or under your payoff card
• Easy, Normal or Expert – the Expert saves its wild Kings and won't build a pile up to your payoff card. That's the spite!
