Spades HD is an online card game on Pogo, where you pair up with a friend, fellow community players, or play alone against computer opponents in this four-player game of wits.
How to Play
In Spades HD, two paired teams compete to win “tricks” of four cards (one from each player), by having the highest-value card in each set. Be the first team to score 500 points by estimating how many tricks you and your partner will take in each round to win.
When all 13 tricks have been played, teams are scored based on the total tricks taken compared to their team bid.
If a team’s match score is 500 or higher, that team wins the match. Otherwise, a new round begins and play continues.
Tips
If you can, always follow suit. This helps you win tricks and prevents opponents from cutting with spades.
If you don’t have the Ace of Spades but hold the King or Queen, try to force the Ace out early so your high spades become winners.
Take your tricks early and only with the cards you intend to use, so you stay on track with your bid and avoid accidental overtricks.
Once you have all the tricks you need – or you’re short by one but still holding the Ace of Spades – dump every trick you can to avoid bags.
Pay attention to which suits have been played out. When a suit is void for multiple players, spades and high cards become far more dangerous.

I have been playing this game for a long time but for the past few days I am able to play the robots but not actual people. Does anyone know why this is happening?
There’s a bug affecting multiplayer in Spades HD right now. Pogo’s is working on a fix for it.
