Community Insight:
Love this game its one of our favorites.
We have played this game for many years and still enjoy it.
Love to play the game with our wife when she is out of town its a kick.
We love the game. It is addictive.
Lots of fun, not too many ads! Very enjoyable app.
We play several rounds of this almost every night.
We love playing this game it's fast and fun and we never get tired of it. We even have it on our phone, if you need a quick game to take your mind off any "junk" play a fast game.
Challenging. We always play on the Spite mode. That makes the occasional win very satisfying. Our wife enjoys it, too. It is her go to game.
We love this game! Our grandmother and we played it all through our childhood and up thru when we became an adult, we miss playing with her but having this game at our fingertips makes us feel good. She called it Malice & Spite but same exact game thou.
Not too hard but not too easy, used to play this game with our sister when we were kids. The app really does it justice.
We really enjoy it. Just love to play it. So much better than solitaire.
We are totally addicted to this. Love it.
We've been playing this app for several years. It doesn't get old and it's challenging. Also, it does not require money to continue playing.
Seems like a fun game but way too many unfinished or sow games. You can get this game free and play by yourself or pay for this online live play which feels like more than half our hgames have a partner which leaves the game before its over or it takes 10 minutes to find a partner. Cant believe we paid for this ….Dont waste your money and time on this one.
There are a lot of nuances that make the play fun.
Fabulous game, always a challenge, definitely addictive.
Love playing this fun game whether its head-to-head, with strangers, or just by ourselves. And love that there are no ads.
Different levels, different challenges, fun game. 5 stars.
Like the new updates, except we cannot play with a friend. Please fix this. Thank Love this game! Agree.
Fun game to play… Getting better each game.
Really enjoy playing this game.
Great version of a classic game.
One of our favorite game! Lots of fun. Quick play with good challenge. Highly recommend.
We absolutely love this game & this is one of the few games that when they say NO ads, they actually mean it and we love playing without ads constantly taking up our time from getting to play.
Get this app, its really a blast to play. Ive been playing for years IRL and this a nice option while Im away from our friends/family/boyfiend.
We Love this game!! It is so much fun!! It keeps our interest during our downtime.
We love this game especially the hard version.
After they have fixed the difficulty in levels its a much better game.
Played this with our mom we love it.
Love the game. Love the strategy. Keeps us on our toes! Must win 2x before we quit. Have to win at least one game before we move on to our others. This is a real challenge! Keeps us sharp.
If you love Spite & Malice, you'll love this app in HD with three degrees of difficulty and options for customizing both card deck and table.
Been playing it for years and still love it.
We love playing Spite and Malice! Played this game with our Mom as a kid. Brings back GREAT memories.
Love the two players and on-line capability Love the game, even with the wild, improbable runs. However, It's probably legitimate behavior because we have had similar runs with real cards. Our only concern is that we have a lot of difficulty inviting guests. Maybe 1 out of 3 attempts succeed on different evenings. This may be lack of support for the Game Center in the current IOS releases.
Keep the updates coming. Great game.
Just love playing the spiteful version of this game. Very entertaining. Been playing it for years.
Love playing. App provides good competition and we dont have to shuffle the cards.
Love love love this game! Love this game.
Love this game. Our cousin introduced us to it when she was visiting from California. Now her and we play each other from NY to California! Only reason we gave it a 4 and not a 5 is because have trouble signing on. May be cloud, not games fault.
Cute little game for a quick time filler.
Tons of fun! We've played over 6,000 games of Spite and Malice on our IOS devices. All on the Expert setting. Very challenging. Very enjoyable! But… The developers need to work with Apple on the Apple Game Center scores. It took us over a year in the Expert Level to go from the bottom player to currently #112. The players #1 and #2 literally arrived their overnight. The people who are #3 and below have been playing for months or years. There is no way the current #1 and #2 Expert Level players could have honestly earned those reviews without somehow hacking the Apple Game Center software.
This is a new card game to us, and it's GREAT! Excellent fun! 12.24.2019. Still enjoying this game on 4 different iDevices! 2025 and Im still enjoying this excellent game.
Love the game. Only complaint is how often it freezes and disconnects. And the scoring shown kn the bottom right and top let has never updated. Often have games when our stack of cards does not show face up and we must forfeit.
We play almost every day and we like progressing to harder levels. Its a great trainer for when we play irl.
Very fun, addictive. Requires strategy. Different levels require more skills. Fast moving, but not timed. A game can be completed in 10 mins. Can return to a game if single player.
Love this game. We play it at spiteful because it is the most fun and challenging.
We swear the computer is a cheater but we still beat it; most of the time.
Best Game Ever !!!!!!!! Never miss a day.
Ive been playing this game for several years now and still enjoy it! Keep it up guys.
It is great to play against a friend or family member. We remember playing this game as a child with so many decks of cards. Great to play on a whim.
