Bid and play a trick-taking hand on every floor of the tower, but each trick you take above your bid becomes a bag, fueling a curse that mutates the deck as you climb.

How to play
Spades Spire turns the classic spades trick-taking card game into a single-player tower climb against one rival AI. Each floor is a fresh hand: you bid the number of tricks you will take, then play it out following suit, with spades as trump. Make at least your bid to ascend to the next floor.
Bid first, bidding the minimum target is the cleanest line.
Follow the led suit if you can; spades beat all other suits and may not be led until broken.
Take more tricks than you bid and the overtricks become bags on a curse meter.
The curse mutates the deck at thresholds (thinner spades, a joker, weaker trumps, a boosted rival); overflow ends the run.

Tips & strategy
Bid exactly what you can guarantee, a clean floor adds zero bags and keeps the deck on your side.
Dump losers early; winning extra tricks you did not bid only deepens the curse for higher floors.
