The original is still the greatest,
By Raymond Benson (Kansas City, KS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Win at Spades (Paperback)
The Complete Win At Spades is a classic and has stood the test of time. Joe Andrews clearly explains all aspects of the game. This book is intended for all levels of play, without the overkill of too much technical information. Many useful conventions are described and several illustrative hands help to explain strategy and technique. His wit and humor make the reading of this book very easy and enjoyable. The book is endorsed by U.S. Playing Card Company and is highly recommended.

This review is from: The Complete Win at Spades (Paperback)
Joe's latest Spades book is not only a good introduction, but it also teaches advanced techniques and strategies. Unlike most books, he actually goes into wonderful detail with examples of finesses, proper bidding, conventions, leading, and play. Joe has consulted with us on several of DreamQuest Software's Championship Hearts and Championship Spades card games and this book and its techniques were critical to making our computer games as challenging and close to live tournament play as possible. If you want to learn how the pros play, this is the book to read!

The Complete Win at Spades,
By Richard Stairs (Houlton, ME USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Win at Spades (Paperback)
Joe Andrews has taken his humour and considerable knowledge ofSpades and has written a book that is not only easy to follow andunderstand but entertaining and thought provoking. I found I wastesting myself on the numerous scenerios and more than once found Ihad made wrong choices. His Illustrated Hands made all the differencein understanding and visionizing the various situations. As a Managerof Special Card Events at the internet's Largest Gaming Site, I feelmy knowledge of the game is more than excellent, but even I foundmyself amazed at the insights and different outlooks available in thisgame. Spades is still a game of luck, but with this book you candefinitely narrow the odds and give yourself an edge in those EndGames.
