What Makes Spite & Malice – Card Game Stand Out
Spite and Malice is the ultimate sequential card game. It is also known as Skip-Bo or Cat and Mouse. Get in the competitive spirit with the Spite and Malice card game where players skillfully build their own stacks of sequentially ranked, ascending cards.
Spite and Malice game objective is the players in the game look forward to discarding all the cards in their stock stack as quickly as possible. The first player to do so wins the game.
The deck consists of two 52 cards, twelve each of the ranking from Ace to Q and eighteen King rank card as wild cards which may be played at any rank.
To begin the game, players are dealt the same amount of cards face down into what becomes their personal Pay-off pile. During play, they draw from a central Draw pile and work towards starting up to four building piles. Each pile is then built up in sequence, Ace through Q.
A King rank card acts as a wild card and can be played to start a building pile or as any other rank, too. These cards are perfect for breaking up static situations or helping to beat your opponents. Use these cards wisely, for they can really help you beat your opponents.
Play with your Facebook friends, against the computer, with your friends in local multiplayer or with millions of Spite and Malice players around the world.
You can also create Private Rooms and invite your friends to play.
Players in Spite and Malice compete with their opponents to eliminate all their Pay-off piled cards by building piles in sequential order.
Test your skills and get into the action, and place all of your cards in sequential order. Keep track on your opponents, though, because the first player to get rid of all cards in their Pay-off pile wins the game.
In Spite and Malice, players use skills and strategy to create stacks of sequentially ranked, ascending cards until they have no more left to play.
The Wild cards add an extra twist to keep the game interesting and help you to beat your opponents.
Spite and Malice is the best game to play if you want to turn off your brain and play something that is relaxing and won’t tax your brain.
While playing Spite and Malice, it's the luck of the draw. Put your skills to test in our Spite and Malice sequencing card game.

Community Insight:
Very close to real thing! Great way to pass the time.
When playing with a friend we need more than 20 seconds to complete a move.
Best game ever just love it been playing this since we were a young kid our whole family and a lot of friends all played this about 53 years now. Great job to the developers never have had any problems with this app at all thanks. Its been one of our favorite games now.
Good implementation! Fun!! Need to be able to remove timer or make it longer.
Our wife and we love playing this game! We would love to give you a 5 star rating, the game could use a few updates thers a few glitches.
We were very disappointed to discover that the online game is being played by bots. The other players all have unique photos of themselves although there is nothing in settings to allow anything but a cartoon image. We also played one game in which the same photo was playing two separate games with different names! The bots also play very dumb moves like ending thief turn with a 9 when we have a 10 on our stock pile. And the chat messages dont work. We were looking forward to playing real people so dont get suckered into this, its fake.
How can we just play one person and keep track of how many games we win.
When you play this game as a left handed person you have to drag your card you are moving to the reserve pile by going past and up to place a card. If you dont it just snaps back to your hand. When you play right handed, it goes in the just fine. We love this app but may delete it because we spend as much time trying to move a card then play the game. Thank you for reading this(we hope).
The best version of Spite and Malice on the net.
Us and our family love this game. It needs a couple of fixes in the app, like it goes down frequently. The game also will get a white screen in the middle of a game playing with 4 people. It also will discard the wrong card when you have one in your hand. But we continue to play by just restarting a new game but if you could work on those issues we would be give a 10 review for your app for sure.
This game could be so great, if you ever got to play. Most of the time you watch the game play alone. Now and then you get to play a card. It would be so much fun to be allowed to participate. Such a shame to ruin what could be a game in stead of sitting on the sideline watching the computer play most of the time.
