Description
Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
Spite and Malice is a card game where the first goal is to empty your own stack on the left. You do that by playing cards onto three shared center piles, each built up from Ace to Queen, with suits ignored.
Kings are wild, which opens up clever plays, and you have your hand and four discard piles to work with. It is among our Cards games, and mobile devices handle it well.
Spite and Malice rules
Each center pile must start with an Ace and go up to the Queen. You can play from the top of your stack, the five cards in your hand, or the top cards of your four discard piles. Kings count as any value. Putting a hand card onto a discard pile finishes your turn.
Strategy tips
- Always look for a way to play the top card of your stack first, that is the real goal.
- Keep Kings for moments when a single missing value blocks you.
- Sort your discard piles, for example putting runs in descending order.
