• Not the same game I had before

  SkeeterMaineJanuary 26, 2014

  Pros

  Used to be a fun game.

  Cons

  Recently purchased ver. 10.0.0 I had previously purchased a previous version a couple years ago, This one is rigged in my opinion.

  Summary

  I slowed the speed down as low as it would go for both the cards and Spite I chose the peek option so I could see what was going on. The computer changed the value of cards when it needed them. Played the same card twice when there was on one of them. And consistently gets exactly the cards it needs every time. I get either all the same cards such as all threes or I get low cards consistently when I need a high one. It is no fun watching the computer drawing cards and playing them and I can't play at all.

• Computer Simulation of Spite and Malice

  sbutler0727July 6, 2012

  Pros

  Addictive computer simulation of the old card game Spite and Malice (similar to the commercial card game Skip-Bo).

  Cons

  Difficult to win at least at first.

  Summary

  Contrary to other reviews, the computer does NOT cheat at this game and I proved it. I put the game in cheat mode and slowed down the animation as much as I could. I then saw what the computer was doing. The computer was NOT cheating, but was using a very sophisticated and very devious algorithm. I then put the game back in normal mode with normal animation. I then used (as close as possible) the computer's own devious algorithm against it. I then played 50 games. I won 20 of them. I therefore proved that the computer was NOT cheating but instead was using a very sophisticated and very devious algorith, If you play it --- good luck!!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 6, 2012<p/>Correction: I won 22 out of 50.

• Decent but biased

  GTnHelenaMarch 22, 2012

  Pros

  Good graphics, good play

  Cons

  Computer almost always gets the best cards.

  Summary

  I've had this for several years and have finally gotten tired of losing more than 80% of the time. I now use Net Spite and Malice which seems to be fairer.

• 10.0 does not automatically hide hold cards

  earlwanaNovember 13, 2010

  Pros

  It is my favorite time passer.

  Cons

  The older version automatically hid the hold card popup...you can press the space bar, but, if that doesn't work you have to close it manually...that is a nuicance

  Summary

  I have been using Spite and Malice for more years than I remember and this is the first update that was not an improvement...but, that's okay...it is still my favorite game and I enjoy "slapping" Spite.

• I liked the older version better,

  starworthOctober 1, 2010

  Pros

  It's challenging and fun

  Cons

  I would like it better if it was random instead of selected. The games are set for you to either win or lose, and I don't like that about it.

  Summary

  Like I said above, for the most part I like the game except for the fact that each game is fixed for you to win or lose. I'd rather they be random selection and let the cards fall where they may, so to speak.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Aug 26, 2011<p/>I've always liked it, and still do, but it could be better.

• Tired of the computer winning every game!!!

  apatee99December 2, 2008

  Pros

  Fun to play at first until you find out that the computer jerk wins every time!

  Cons

  I love this game and have played it for years, so I know how to play, but with this game the computer WINS every single time and gets most of the wild cards!! I wouLd not buy this game!!! Does anyone know where you can go and play a fair game?

  Summary

  NOT A FAIR GAME!!!!

• Would be a great game if AI did not cheat so much.

  snoopy7050April 16, 2008

  Pros

  Great graphics, interface and help menus. <p>Plenty of options.

  Cons

  Like most card games, AI cheats big time. <p>AI seems to get 75% of the wild cards and almost every card it needs. <p>As a previous reviewer said, it has nothing to do with skill. <p>Did not buy it for this reason.
