♠️ GREENSBORO / NC SPADES PLAYERS — I HAVE A QUESTION!

UPDATE: Classic 2V2 Spades Is Part of the Plan Too! ♠️🏆
I wanted to clarify something for the Greensboro Spades community!

While the 1V1 Carolina Championship is the main event I’m developing, I’m also planning to include a separate traditional 2v2 Spades tournament!
I know a lot of players love partnership Spades, and I haven’t forgotten about that side of the game. I want both formats represented.

I’m also looking for an experienced Spades tournament operator or co-host in Greensboro or the surrounding Triad area.

Ideally, someone familiar with organizing traditional 2v2 tournaments who can help manage the partnership bracket, rules, and match disputes while I oversee the 1v1 competition and tournament technology.
The event is still in planning, so the venue, date, and final 2v2 format aren’t confirmed yet.

Greensboro, I’d love to hear from you:

♠️ Would you compete in 1v1?
🤝 Would you bring a partner for 2v2?
🏆 Would you play in BOTH?
And if you organize Spades tournaments locally, or know someone who does, please reach out!
My goal is to bring something special to Greensboro and help grow competitive Spades in North Carolina.

Could we actually get 1,024–2,048 Euchre players into one online tournament?

I’m working on a large-scale Euchre 1V1 tournament and I’m curious what the Euchre community thinks before we start pushing the campaign nationally.

The first major target would be:

1,024 players → 1,023 matches → 10 rounds

The larger target:

2,048 players → 2,047 matches → 11 rounds

We’re also looking into Guinness World Records and documented Euchre tournament attendance, but I’m deliberately not calling it an official record attempt until the exact category and evidence requirements are confirmed.
The tournament would be free entry and played online using a structured bracket.
My biggest question:

Would Euchre players actually show up for a tournament this large?

And if so, would you rather see it happen in one weekend, across several days, or through qualifying rounds leading into a championship bracket?

I’m interested in feedback from tournament organizers too.

What would you bid here? — 1V1 Spades Hand #2

Call your bid before the opening screen disappears.

No partner to cover you, and every book matters. What are you bidding with this hand?

You’ll see what I chose—and how many books I actually finished with—at the end. 👀

I have more hands from this match recorded if y’all want Hand #3.

I built a 1v1 Spades “King of the Table” mode—has anyone seen this done before?

I’ve been building a true 1v1 Spades platform, and I just launched a new mode called King of the Table.
The format is simple:
♠ One player opens a table and becomes the King
♠ Another player challenges them in a Race to 250 or 500
♠ Winner keeps the table and builds a streak
♠ Loser returns to the challenger line
♠ Anyone can watch the match live
♠ The King continues defending the table until somebody takes the crown
This isn’t a bracket tournament. It’s a continuous public table where the winner stays and the challengers rotate.
I know winner-stays formats exist in pool, ping-pong, fighting games and informal card rooms, but I haven’t found an online Spades game built specifically around a public 1v1 King, challenger queue and spectator system.
Has anyone here seen this exact format used for Spades before? And would you play it?
I’m the developer, so I’m also interested in honest feedback—especially from experienced Spades players.
It’s free to play with no wagering or paid entry:

I built a 1v1 version of Euchre — would love feedback from Euchre players

I’ve been working on a head-to-head version of Euchre built specifically around 1v1 play, and this is a quick look at a match against the highest-difficulty bot.

I’m the developer, so full disclosure that this is my own project. I’m mainly posting because I’d like feedback from people who actually play Euchre — especially on the gameplay format, table layout, and whether the 1v1 rules feel competitive and easy to follow.

It’s currently available on iOS, with Android in the submission/review process.
Would you play Euchre this way? Anything you’d change?

Listening to all feedback. If it makes sense it will be implemented. Already on Apple. Dm for any questions !

Euchre 1V1 is officially on the App Store — thank you to everyone who helped test it!

Euchre 1V1 is officially approved and released on the App Store! 🎉

The app is built for fast, live head-to-head Euchre—no partner needed. You can create private rooms, send invite links, keep score automatically, and play on a clean table designed specifically for 1v1 matches.

This first release is only the beginning. Updates are already being worked on using all the feedback players have provided, including gameplay flow, clarity, stability, reconnect behavior, competitive features, and overall polish.

I especially want to thank everyone who downloaded the TestFlight builds, played matches with me, reported problems, shared screenshots, explained what felt confusing, and offered honest Euchre-player feedback. Some of you spent real time walking me through improvements, and that directly helped shape the app.

I’m listening to every suggestion. If you try it, please let me know what you enjoy, what needs improvement, and what you want added next.

I built a 1v1 Euchre variant — looking for feedback on the gameplay

Been working on a 1v1 version of Euchre and wanted to get some opinions from people who actually play the game a lot.
It keeps the core Euchre mechanics but adapts them for two players. I’m especially curious what you think about the pacing, bidding/trump flow, and whether it still feels like Euchre when played 1v1.
I’ll be testing it today, so any feedback would actually help me a lot. Not posting a download link here — mainly looking for gameplay feedback while I keep polishing it.

1v1 spades and 1v1 euchre coming out tomorrow !

I’ve spent the last few months building something I always wished existed.
A true 1v1 Spades game.
No partner.
No excuses.
Just you vs your opponent.
One of the things I’m most excited about is the competitive side:
🏆 Human vs Human ranked PvP
📈 Elo rating system so you climb (or fall) based on who you beat
📊 Leaderboards
🤖 Multiple AI difficulties to practice before jumping into ranked
🎯 Tournaments
🏅 Leagues starting August 31
The bots aren’t there just to fill empty lobbies—they’re meant to help you improve. You can practice bidding, card management, and end-game decisions before risking your Elo against real players.
The long-term goal is to build an actual competitive ecosystem around Spades where your rating means something and you can follow your progress over time.
Spades is one of my favorite games, and I wanted to build something that rewards skill without relying on finding a good partner every game.
Season 1 drops Friday, August 7.
I’d genuinely love feedback from serious Spades players. What would make you keep coming back to a ranked 1v1 ladder?

Think you can beat my AI?

I’ve been working on some seriously tough 1v1 Spades bots, and I want to see who can take them down.

💬 DM me “BOT” and I’ll send you the private test link.

🏆 If you beat it, send me a screenshot and I’ll add you to the Season 0 Hall of Fame before Season 1 launches.

No partner. No excuses.
Who’s first?

Why I think 1v1 Spades deserves its own competitive category

Traditional 2v2 Spades is a great game, but it’s fundamentally a team game. Your success depends not only on your own decisions, but also on your partner’s communication, experience, and play style.

With 1v1 Spades:

Every win is yours.
Every mistake is yours.
No blaming a partner.
No getting carried by a stronger teammate.
Every decision directly impacts the outcome.
It’s much closer to the feeling of chess, pool, poker, or other head-to-head competitive games where your own skill determines the result.

Some differences:

2v2 Spades

Team strategy
Partner chemistry matters
Communication and trust
Harder to measure individual skill

1v1 Spades

Pure individual skill
Faster matchmaking
Easier rankings and leaderboards
Better for tournaments and streaming
Every match feels like a true duel
No partner colluding
No partners throwing your games and betting 13 or fake nils

I’ve spent the last few months building a platform dedicated to this format because I think it deserves to stand on its own—not replace 2v2 Spades, but exist alongside it as a different competitive experience.

Would you play competitive 1v1 Spades? Why or why not?

1v1 spades bot lab preview. Live soon! Waiting on Apple zzz

u/CompSpades — 2 months ago
▲ 1 r/u_CompSpades+1 crossposts

1v1Spades bot lab coming soon !

I’ve been building a 1v1 Spades app for a while now, and one feature I’m really excited about is finally getting close.

As soon as Apple finishes approving a few remaining updates, I’m planning to release an AI Practice Mode.

The goal wasn’t just to make bots that play random cards. I wanted bots that actually think about bidding, protecting their contract, setting you, managing bags, nil strategy, endgame decisions, and eventually multiple difficulty levels that feel genuinely different.

My hope is that this becomes useful for:

New players who want to learn without pressure.

Experienced players who want to practice whenever nobody else is online.

Streamers and content creators who still want competitive games even when matchmaking is quiet.

Long term, the same AI system will power future games I’m building too, so this is a pretty big milestone for the project.

If you’re a Spades player, what makes an AI feel “good” to you?
What habits or mistakes instantly give away that you’re playing against a bot instead of a person?
I’d love to hear ideas before I open it up to everyone.

Happy Saturday to all (:
