Questions
Which Spades rules are used?
Four players in partnerships, 52 cards, spades trump, target 500. Nil earns +100 or −100; failed Nil tricks do not meet the partner’s contract but count as bags. Contract tricks earn ten per bid, overtricks one each, and every ten accumulated bags deduct 100. No blind Nil. Spades must be broken unless only spades remain.
How strong is the computer?
The computer uses local, simple legal heuristics. It is not an expert opponent, and all computation runs in this browser.
Is my card game uploaded?
No. Cards, bids, moves and saved history stay in this browser. No game account, server session or online opponent is used. Analytics may record the public game mode; it never receives your hand, selections or history.
How does saved progress work?
This route restores its own validated saved deal and recent undo history when browser storage is available. New deal and restart ask before replacing progress. Normal card games never automatically open from the homepage. Clear site data to remove local saves.
Can I undo computer turns?
Computer play follows the documented legal variant. Undo is available for practice and pauses the computer until you resume.
