Trickster Cards review

Trickster Cards is second because it is the strongest free option for playing hearts, spades and other partner games with real people you know. It supports Spades, Euchre, Pitch, Hearts, Bid Whist, 500, Pinochle, Oh Hell and Bridge, and lets you pick house rules when you create a game. Choose Play to be matched by skill and speed, or Join to invite friends and family to a private table with free video chat. Trickster says it runs on iPad, iPhone, Mac, Android, Amazon Fire, Chromebook and Windows, which helps when a family uses mixed devices. Free players see a brief ad before each game but no banners or popups while playing. The prepaid VIP Pass removes ads and adds replays, ad-free hosting and club creation for $5.99 a month. It does not cover solitaire or rummy, so pair it with a broader site if you want those. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not play timed sessions.
