Looking for Spades players to help test a competitive 1v1 Spades platform.
The main 1v1spades.com site is currently unavailable while an updated version is going through App Store review, so we’re temporarily testing on staging.
Features currently being tested:
• Casual matchmaking
• Ranked matchmaking
• Leaderboards
• Private matches
• Account system
• Account recovery
• Live multiplayer games
We’ve already got ranked matches being played and leaderboard stats being generated.
Test site dm me for details
If you enjoy Spades and want to help test, message me for details and feedback access.

I built a free head-to-head Spades web app and I’m looking for a few people to test it.
A friend and I just played a full match from start to finish with no gameplay issues. Matchmaking, bidding, trick-taking, scoring, and game completion worked normally.
No money, no prizes, no entry fees — just free 1v1 Spades.
I’m mainly looking for feedback on mobile experience, matchmaking, reconnect behavior, and anything confusing in the UI.
I can send the link in the comments or by DM if anyone wants to try it.

After weeks of building, testing, debugging, redesigning, and running live tournaments, I’m officially entering the final stretch before Apple App Store submission.

What started as an idea between friends has become a real multiplayer game:

✅ Real-time 1v1 Spades
✅ Invite friends with room codes
✅ Tournament support
✅ Reconnect system
✅ Forfeit system
✅ AFK auto-forfeit protection
✅ TestFlight builds live
✅ Final accounts and leaderboards now being added

The goal wasn’t to make another casual card game.

The goal was to create a true competitive 1v1 Spades experience where every bid, every bag, and every trick matters.

No partner.

No excuses.

Just you versus your opponent.

I’m submitting the game to Apple soon and would love feedback from Spades players, card game players, and anyone who enjoys competitive strategy games.

We’re building a real competitive spades scene with weekly tournaments, live matches, and a growing community.

Drop a comment or DM me if you want the Discord/join info.

Free entry. Real prize. One champion. 🏆

What’s up y’all — I’m building 1v1 Competitive Spades, a new head-to-head version of Spades made for tournaments, streaming, and real competition.

No partner. No excuses. Just you, your bid, your hand, and pressure every round.

We already have a live website working at 1v1Spades.com, and we’ve been running test matches/tournaments with real players. One of our recent test games went 14 rounds and ended 297–272. It was intense, and both players had a blast. That’s when I knew this could really become something.

Right now we’re recruiting players for free test tournaments so we can stress-test the platform, build the community, and eventually run bigger prize tournaments.

What we’re looking for:

Players who know Spades
People willing to test and give feedback
Competitive players who want to be early in the scene
Stream viewers/supporters
Anyone who wants to help build a real Spades community

Current format:

1v1 Spades
Free entry test tournaments
Live streamed matches
Champion badge / winner screen
Tournament brackets
King of the Table mode coming/being tested
Bigger tournaments planned as the community grows

This is early, but it’s real. The goal is to build a legit competitive Spades scene with weekly tournaments, rankings, leaderboards, city-vs-city events, and bigger prize pools over time.

If you’ve ever said you’re nice at Spades, this is where you prove it.

Drop a comment or join the Discord to get in the next test tournament.

Let’s build competitive Spades for real.

I’ve been working on a competitive version of 1v1 Spades and finally have the website live.

The format is built for head-to-head Spades matches, tournaments, and livestream competition. Instead of traditional 2v2 teams, it’s one player vs one player, with the game still dealing like a full Spades table. The side hands are discarded, and the two active players battle directly through bidding, nils, bags, and strategy.

I’m also testing a mode called King of the Table:

Winner stays.
Loser rotates out.
Next challenger steps in.
The goal is to defend the table and build the longest win streak.

I already ran my first mock tournament, and I’m preparing for more live events with brackets, spectators, and tournament rules.

The site is still early, so I’m looking for players/testers who like Spades, competitive card games, or live challenge formats.

Website: https://www.1v1spades.com
Discord: https://discord.gg/uqg7GNTCC

Best experience is on Chrome or Safari. DuckDuckGo browser has had some button issues.

Would love feedback from Spades players. Do you think a serious 1v1 Spades format could work as a competitive scene?

I’ve been playing 1v1 spades in person for about a year and recently built a live multiplayer version of it.

The format is simple but intense:

No partner. No excuses.

You bid your own hand, play your own books, and every mistake is on you.

I’m launching Season 0 and setting a public goal:

50 tournaments before 2027

---

Schedule:

Every Monday: Main Tournament
Every other Friday: Mini Bracket

Time TBD:(will bend main time by vote between season 0 original players but subject to change for all tourneys)

Special events:

Summer Special
Labor Day Weekend Special
Black Friday Spades Special
Year-End Championship

The goal is to build a real competitive spades community with weekly brackets, rankings, rivalries, and serious players.

I’m looking for testers, competitive spades players, and feedback before the first full run. First (mock)tourney is Monday 5/25. Followed by the June 1st $150 NO ENTRY FEE Tournament!!!

If you’ve played spades for years, would you try a 1v1 format?
If so please join the discord 👆🏽and find #tournaments!!!

Looking for 1v1 Spades app beta testers — paying $5 for feedback

I’m building a phone-accessible 1v1 Solo Spades multiplayer beta and looking for a few testers today.

I’m paying $5 to each tester who completes a test match or 3 rounds and gives feedback.

This is not a paid tournament or gambling. Everyone gets the same $5 win or lose. I’m just testing room joining, bidding, scoring, reconnect, spectator mode, and mobile usability.

Discord is required so I can organize match links, results, and bug reports.

Comment or DM if interested.

Apple Cash, Cash App, Venmo, maybe Zelle

I’ve been developing a competitive 1v1 spades format based around hidden information, reads, psychology, and deduction.

The way it works:

Full 52-card deck dealt into 4 hands

Players use opposite hands

2 side hands become hidden discard piles

Nil allowed

Heavy emphasis on memory, pressure, and reading opponents

Some unique rules:

Spades only break naturally

Hidden discard hands

Severe renege punishments

Competitive nil scoring (+125/-125)

Bags still matter heavily

I’m considering building:

a browser-based version,

ranked matchmaking,

tournaments,

and streamer mode so viewers can’t cheat by seeing hidden info.

I also want to stream challenge matches like:
“$20 if you beat me in 1v1 spades.”

I know a lot of people only think of spades as casual/team play, but high-level 1v1 actually gets insanely psychological and competitive.

Would any of you actually play or watch something like this competitively?

I genuinely want feedback from real spades players.
