About the Suicide Spades board
This board ranks the quickest won matches of Suicide Spades by finish time. Suicide Spades is the most nerve-wracking member of the family, and its rule is exactly as dramatic as the name suggests: on every single hand, one player from each partnership must bid Nil - very high - coordinating a forced nil with a big bid is real teamwork. The current top time here is 2:50 by Anonymous.
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 Suicide 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.

Leaderboard FAQ
How does the Spades leaderboard work?
It ranks completed match wins by finish time. Every result is checked for a plausible time and hand count before it is listed, and only matches your side actually won are counted.
What counts as a good Spades match time?
It depends on the variant and your target score. A match to 250 usually runs several minutes across a handful of hands; decisive bidding and few sets get you there faster.
Do I need an account to appear on the leaderboard?
No. Guests can post a display name. A free account keeps a permanent name and syncs your records across every device you sign in on.
Can I compare results fairly?
Yes - Play the daily deal, where everyone is dealt the identical hands, so results are directly comparable player to player.
