The game of Spades has been around for generations. On the surface, it’s a simple card game. Played in pairs, it’s about you and your partner working together to win more books than the team you're up against.

But on a deeper level, the team that wins is usually the one holding the most Spades—the dominant suit. No one really knows who’s holding what. It’s about learning how to play your hand, and ultimately, understanding the value of the Spades.
