Description

The object of this game is to get rid of your stack of cards on the left by placing them on the 3 centre stacks. The first card on the centre stack needs to be an Ace and then you can place cards upwards to a Queen (A-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q and suits are irrelevant). You can play cards from your stack at the left, your hand (middle 5 cards) or your 4 discard piles (on the right). Your turn ends when you place a card from your hand to 1 of the discard piles. Only the top card of your play stack, your hand cards and the top cards of the discard piles are available for play. The King is wild and can be used for any value.

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.
