3D Spades Deluxe
Intro
The modern spade first broke ground in the early middle ages, probably in Germany, and quickly spread throughout Western Europe. Only France resisted its adoption, claiming the traditional pointed stick was the “French” way to dig. After the Franco famine of 1274, a new consensus formed in that country that the spade was in fact just a fancy pointed stick, invented in Marseilles, and its use quickly became universal.From digging tool, to card suit, and finally to card game, the evolution of Spades has been a tumultuous one. Yet Spades survives where other card games have long become extinct. Hearts, Bridge and Crazy Eights still enjoy a measure of popularity, but who today plays the once popular Crazy Fives, Eat Fish! or Mr. Clubs Goes To The Discard Pile? The game of Spades has flourished because of its unique blend of strategy, luck, and cooperation. Spades is now enjoyed by millions of people in every corner of the globe, except perhaps France where they continue to play a variation called “Pointed Stick”.

Known Issues and Tips
1. This game, for download size reasons, only comes with a small selection of opponents and rooms. There are many more rooms and opponents, and when you register you’ll have access to all of them for downloading, or better, for $5 +s/h we’ll send you a CD-ROM with your order which will include the full versions of every opponent and room we make! Order the game and the CD here: store.freeverse.com
2. If you’re using the game with any other Freeverse 3D Card game, we suggest you organize the games in the following manner, so that all the games can share the same rooms and opponents. This will save you hard drive space and enable the “Quit and Open” feature which lets you jump easily from game to game.
