Spite & Malice is the classic two-player race card game. Build shared piles up from Ace to Queen, play off your goal pile one card at a time, and be the first to empty all twenty — while keeping an eye on what your rival needs and making sure they never get it.

A tap lifts the best card and lights the pile it belongs on.
