Do you have a wild card in your hand? This card will allow you to replace any card except for an ace! Better yet, finish playing all of the cards in your hand and get to draw 5 more! Be the first to empty your goal pile and become the ultimate Spite & Malice winner.
Since there can only be one winner, the other players will be ranked based on how many cards they have left in their goal pile.

Community Insight:
We love it sooo much our meme made us download it and we did and its sooo fun so all our family download it they all love it sooo much so download this now.
We play this game every night to unwind. Best game ever.
We were so surprised and upset to find that there were no apps for skip Bo on the App Store. After some googling, we found that the original game was called spite and manic so we looked that up instead and we found this app! It's pretty much identical to skipBo. Our favorite feature of the app is the online play.
Love that you can choose between 2 players or more ,,,, quick game or longer,,,.
We our favorite game to play on long car rides.
This computer is too easy to beat! It would be great if we could set the difficulty.
Love the game. A great pass time no matter where you are. However it does glitch. Ive seen the stock pile change cards plenty of times. Especially if your playing against the bots.
The game play is vaguely fun but there are some reasons Im deleting: 1) even the quick game (5 card stock pile) is interrupted by so many 30+ ads, its no longer quick. 2) in dingle player mode, you cant change the name/avatar of your bot opponents: we play against 3 identical ladies named Carol! 3) you cant adjust the volume on the ads….there is one that starts off with a girl screaming and repeats endlessly. How fun is THAT? 4) no choice of music, order of players, color background of screen or cards, no kind of bonus round….its like the developers arent even trying to keep it fresh. 5) at the end of the game, theres no option to just play another game with the same settings. You have to go back to the Home Screen and choose again. And they play an ad every other move during the game and get you again at the end. Greedy much.
This game is fun and all but the number of ads is just RIDICULOUS!!! Cant even get through a single game without watching a handful of ads. If it wasnt for that, Id keep the app but its way too frustrating.
The game is ok, and there are a lot of ads, but whats appealing is the type of ads. Girls throwing up in toilets after taking pregnancy tests. Games of girls putting on makeup and wearing skanky clothing. A game of a gut running around losing his clothes while being chased by a mob? Its disgusting.
Toooomany adds!!! We paid for this app , No ADDs.
We love this game. We had one ad in our whole game, it was a long one, but no biggie. Id rather have less long ads than more short ads. We also love that we can play against our family.
Great game to many advertisements.
We rate this game a 4. It is super fun to play with friends at a party or game night! Our only concern about the game is that there are plenty of ads and you have timed turns. Otherwise, this game is so fun and we recommend.
Recent upgrades to the game has the same character playing multiple people. There are many ads, too many! Positive features are live multiplayer option and it plays well against the computer.
This game is fun but it stops u in the middle of a round. There a so many ads dont buy If we f u dont like ads. This game wastes a lot of your battery.
The game is fun. We dont mind the adds between the hands, now the adds are between the hands and in the middle of them. Thats a little excessive!!! Ill find another card game.
Easy game to play. At first we had the free app, but got tired of all the ads, and purchased the ad free version. Its an easy time to kill game, and we love it.
Loved the game, however it would be more fun if it had levels and you got to see some progress. We got bored of it really fast.
We love this game! It was fine when they had ads between games, that made sense. However about 2 months ago they started ads between every turn or so. Its annoying. Please go back to between games and not between plays.
We tried to open the app today to play a game but we get a message saying we need to update the app to play. We tried to update multiple times but there is no option for an update. We deleted the app and reinstalled thinking this would eliminate the update issue by installing the most current version, but……..nope. It still says we need to update in order to play. Also, the ads are out of control.
Used to be fun. Recently updated app now interrupts game for ads.
Just updated and every 2 turns there is an ad. Our brain injury cannot take the switch. This app is being deleted.
Cant enjoy the game because of the excessive ads. 30-45 secs after every play. Like the game if we could actually play it.
Ads pop up after every 2 turns, then the game freezes and you have to restart. No option for ad free play. Kinda boring after a while.
Dumped the app due to an over abundance of ads. You cannot finish a hand without being blocked by an ad.
We enjoyed this game however there are so many commercials that its frustrating. You can play more than 4 cards b4 an ad pops up.
This feature would be really helpful for those of us who keep their iPads in keyboard cases. Also can you allow us to play with up to 8 players instead of only four for hosted games.
You should be able to rematch without putting a new code in every single time. Its really hard to play with friends.
Love the easy way to play. We would recommend to everyone.
This game is wonderful, its super accessible to play with friends and works offline. We dont like that they added adverts but everything else is absolutely amazing we could literally play for hours.
We love this game, its very calming.
Its a fun game. After a while though it just gets slow. But its a great game.
We enjoy both Skip-Bo and this game, as theyre essentially the same. We find that the bot players are sufficiently challengingI had to play something like 7 or 8 games before we won! This is a game of luck AND skill, and we find playing with bots to be very realistic. Im glad that we took a chance on this app! Its great.
Our wife and we play for hours at a time while the dogs jump on us.
Great and fun game.but we agree that you MUST PAY the $2 to GET RID of those annoying ads.
Stop complaining about ads and buy if you like it! We play for an hour if we want its fun! Glad we bought it.
One of our everyday games to play. We love this game. It is fun and we love that we can play it alone.
Really fun game, always a good one to have on your phone when trying to pass some time. Only complaint is the number and length of ads.
We really like this version. The only draw back is it consumes a lot of battery very quickly.
Its ok, just too simple. (For us) its a smooth game overall. Need some way to chat or send emotes. And some kind a levels or challenges. A way to invite friends. We. Trying a different one. But this one is ok simple.
Game is ok. Too many ads. There are better versions of this game available.
No trash talking, not too many ads & for a 4 player game it moves smoothly. Try it out, what do you have to loose? Its free.
Not their old skip-bo, but its good.
We loved it when it was skip Bo but they lost the trademark and we were so upset. Finally the came out with a version and they transferred cost of the game so we didnt have to buy the app again.
Too many ads! We dont like that you cant see what cards are under discard piles.
Far too many ads. We understand having ads before and/or after a game. But having multiple ads during a game is very much excessive.
Would be better if multiplayer games could – pause – not get kicked off when free players receive ads.
We have played this game for years. Its always fun and a great way to spend time while waiting for doctors or while watching baseball games.
Great way to relax at the end of the day. It reminds us of the card game Skip-Bo.
