Spades Plus review

Spades Plus is Zynga's dedicated Spades game and the best pick here for players who want lots of Spades variants and busy public tables. Beyond classic partnership Spades, it offers VIP custom tables, Solo with no partners, Mirror where you bid your spade count, and Whiz. 16-player tournaments and Knock-Out challenges add a competitive layer, and when you create a table you can set the bet amount, final point and whether Nil, Blind Nil and chat are allowed, or make it invite-only. Chat and a friends list support the social side. The model is coin-based: the App Store lists advertising, coin packs from $0.99 and paid random items, and Zynga says the game is intended for an adult audience, does not offer real money gambling and needs an internet connection. Trickster Cards offers Spades with fewer ads and also adds other trick-taking games. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not play timed sessions.
