Follow Suit

Steam DeckDesktop, laptop, phone, tablet, DeckTry all of our different gamesSpades and Hearts however you wantClassic partnership Spades to 500, with nil and blind nil, Hearts with pass three.  Rulesets built in to choose from (such as no blind nil, no nil, no mercy floor), or you can change the table options however you please, with an option to save your own rulesets for different games.Bots that play WELL, not dang cheating bots OR make-you-feel-goodThree difficulties. Easy is for learning. Hard, the default, bids sensibly, may bid nil, sets nils, covers its partner and knows when to dump the queen. Expert plays like Hard with better foresight and memory, and should challenge even experienced players. Every bot seat has its own difficulty, and the host can change it during or between games.Why this existsI started this project because Spades (occasionally Hearts) is one of the few games I consistently catch up with online friends still. My mom plays Freecell, and Solitaire is the only solo card game I play. That's where the starting four games came from. I was unhappy with all the options for easily playing with friends.No option I found had it all:  No ads, smooth play, cross device, customize rules, easily invite friends without hassle or setup.  I want my card games to avoid all of that.  I used AI to help me with this and prefer to be up front about it even if it alienates some people, but I have been putting in hundreds (thousands now?) of hours of my own work, iterating, testing, adding features, fixing design, making everything as smooth and seamless as possible.Solitaire, done properlyKlondike with one-card or three-card draws and standard, Vegas (and cumulative) or tournament scoring. FreeCell with every card face up, and three, four or five free cells. Both save automatically, and when the last king goes home the cards come bouncing down the screen.Friends, groups and leaderboardsAdd friends, see who is online and invite them to your table. Make a group for your buddies and keep its own leaderboard, beside weekly, monthly and all-time boards for Spades and Hearts. Start a game on your PC and carry it on from your phone. Friends, groups, leaderboards and switching devices use a free Follow Suit account; everything else works without one.Make the table yoursCard backs, felts, card faces, seat chips, and themed table moments and sounds.
