Spades is a trick-taking card game somewhat akin to Hearts but more closely related to bridge.

History


From the Card Games website. Spades was invented in the United States of America in the 1930s and is played quite widely in North America. Until recently it has been little known elsewhere, except in a few places where American troops were stationed, for example in parts of Germany. However, since the mid 1990s Spades has become popular internationally because of its easy availability in on-line card rooms on the Internet.
