About the Partnership Spades board
This board ranks the quickest won matches of Partnership Spades by finish time. Partnership Spades is the version almost everyone means when they say "Spades": four players, two teams sitting across from each other, and a shared promise to win a set number of tricks each hand - mostly skill - accurate bidding and card counting decide most matches.
How places are decided
- Only won matches count, and every result is checked for a plausible time and hand count before it is listed.
- Results are ranked by finish time, rewarding decisive bidding and clean play over slow grinding.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name and sync records across devices; guests can still post a display name.
- Switch between Today, This Week, This Month and All Time above to see recent form or lifetime bests.
What is a strong Spades time?
It varies a lot by the target you play to, but here is a rough ladder to aim for:
| Just learning | Winning the match at all is the achievement - Ignore the clock for now. |
|---|---|
| Casual player | A comfortable win over a handful of hands, several minutes. |
| Getting sharp | Few sets, tidy bids, and a win in well under the average hand count. |
| Table shark | A ruthless run of made bids and busted opponents that closes the match fast. |
The quickest way up this board is not rushing your cards - It is bidding accurately so you never bleed points to a set, then closing the match in as few hands as possible.
