Spades the Game Show

There's a reason that games like Spades, Hearts, and Bridge were invented. People like playing a competitive game where it's important to be able to read people, know some basic odds, and have a bit of luck mixed in, but they want it to be fun. And that is the literally origin of the "whist" family of card games-they're meant to be wistful, fun, and infinitely repayable.
