Spite & Malice

WildCard Classics Inc

This game of cards is full of spite and malice.

It’s for anyone who enjoys going head-to-head with friends in turn-based card games.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

Unleash your inner demon with the fiendishly fun Spite & Malice. Your goal is to be the first person to play all of the cards from your own pile by placing them on the middle piles in numerical order. Don’t worry about the suits of the cards because in Spite & Malice they don’t mean a thing. Just remember that the best way to beat your opponent is to block them from ever playing their cards. The game includes a single player mode, and online real-time and turn-based multiplayer.

If you enjoy good multiplayer card games, you have to check out Spite & Malice. It’s easy to learn and a total blast to play with friends.

If you’re not fond of playing against other people, you probably won’t enjoy Spite & Malice. Sure, it can be played alone, but it’s just not nearly as fun.

It’s for parents with children who are afraid of the dark.

Duckie Deck Monsters will help your child see there’s nothing to be afraid of when the lights are out. Each monster is hiding in the shadows. Your child must tap on the light to reveal the colorful and cuddly creature that’s ready to play. They can tap on and swipe over the monsters and see what happens.

If you have a child that’s out of preschool, Duckie Deck Monsters isn’t ideal. It will have limited appeal.
