spades queen and my partner (reluctantly) in my kamikaze bids to go nil
The modern game of Spades became popular in the late 1940’s, especially on college campuses. It was difficult to ascertain the true origin of this game. A review of several card game reference sources revealed that Spades descended from Whist. Spades also has a kindred spirit with Bridge, Pinochle, Euchre and other similar games featuring partnership play, bidding and a trump suit.
