Spades Night changelog

Every change to Spades Night, newest first.

Current version: [1.0.2] — 2026-10-24

[1.0.2] — 2026-10-24 - Looks right on every screen

On the smallest phones, the Rules and Games buttons at the top no longer run into each other.
Long team names in the scores take two lines instead of being cut short.
The trick count on the table is never clipped on narrow phones.
The title fits even with your phone set to bigger text.
Checked on every screen, from small iPhones to desktops, with normal and bigger text.

When your 13 cards don't all fit across the screen, they now overlap like a real hand, with each card's number and suit showing in the corner. On some iPhones they lay out flat instead, and the whole table scrolled sideways.

Play Spades against Smart or Easy computer players, you and a computer partner against two computer players. Smart players imagine where the unseen cards might be and play the hand out many ways before choosing (they never peek); in testing they beat the Easy ones 30 games out of 40.
Friends & family tables with a 4-letter code or link, on the same card server as Pitch Night: pick seats, fill empty chairs with computer players, everyone ready before the next hand, and the host can let a computer take over for someone who left.
Six versions: Classic, Jokers & Deuces, Cutthroat, Suicide, Mirror and Whiz.
House rules: Nil worth 100 or 50 (or off), Blind Nil when 100 behind (or any time, or never), bags (every 10 costs 100, every 5 costs 50, no penalty, or worth nothing), breaking spades, lowest club leads, a team minimum bid, bids of 10 or more count double, the mercy rule at −200, and the score you play to.
Blind Nil the real way: your cards stay face down until you choose.
A scoreboard with bags filling toward the next penalty, a running "2 of 3" for every player, a card order sheet, a ring for who has the trick caught, Hint that explains itself, Auto-play, real card sounds, the score sheet, and a Rules page in plain English.
Links between the card games, and a front door at cards.thelabs.fyi that takes any table code to the right game.
