Spades online is an American trick-taking card game that was made in the 1930s. It can be played with a partner or "cutthroat" (by yourself). The goal is to win as many tricks as the number of "books" that were bid before the hand started. Spades is related to the card games Bridge, Hearts, and Oh Hell, which are all part of the Whist family. It is different from other versions of Whist in that the Spade suit always wins, instead of the highest bidder or chance. This is where the name comes from.
