I like playing spades. I host a game night every Thursday. I and some of the more dedicated players are always on the hunt to make the experience more efficient, inclusive, and easy to pick up for new players, yet robust enough to not bore old players.
Here are some of the items we use in our games:
- Waterproof Professional Poker Mat
- Automatic Card Dealer Machine
- Playing Card Deck Cases
- Bicycle Standard Rider Back Playing Cards, Poker Size, 12 Pack
- LCD Writing Tablet
Here is a couple of scoring apps I made. They are in HTML, so you can save them and use them wherever. The ultimate version is “online” and needs everyone who wants to view the scorer on their own device to open the file from the same location, so it has to be hosted. Feel free to use my link for now since it it is hosted. I have an advanced version that works for weekly games or tournaments. Please contact me for pricing.
