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.

One of the best trump and bidding style games ever, Spades is easy to jump into, yet there is a lot of room to learn great strategy. It's a perfect blend of risk and skill. From the creators of popular PC card games like Hardwood Hearts.

Welcome to Hardwood Spades ... the game where a trick IS a treat! Bid on how many tricks you can take, then work with your partner to make it happen. 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!
