Questions

What is spades.live?

A free website for playing classic card games — Spades, Bid Whist, Hearts, Tunk and Crazy Eights — with your friends on live video, right in the browser.

Do I need to download anything or sign up?

No. Start a table and share the link. Friends join from any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer.

Is the video private?

Video and audio go directly between players (peer-to-peer) and are never recorded. If a direct connection isn’t possible, an encrypted relay is used.

Can we use our own house rules?

Yes. Every game has popular variations built in — like nil and blind nil, jokers, bag penalties and minimum bids in Spades — and the host picks them before the deal.

What if we don’t have enough players?

Bots fill empty seats and give them up as soon as a friend sits down. You can also find new people to play with in the public lobby.

Is there any gambling or real money?

No. spades.live is for social play only — there is no wagering, no prizes and no real-money play of any kind.
