Spite & Malice is a fast-paced card game, where you're pitted against an intelligent opponent named Spite, similar to SkipBo. It offers a challenging version of solitaire, playable offline or over an Internet/LAN connection. It's highly addictive and promises an action-packed gaming experience.
I recently had the chance to try out a new card game called Spite and Malice. This game offers a fresh, unique twist on the standard solitaire (patience) formula by adding a competitive element with the resident computer opponent, Spite.
Spite and Malice is an updated version of an old card game, also called "Cat and Mouse," that provides a fast-paced and addictive experience. The goal is to outwit Spite by playing your cards carefully and quickly to be the first to use up your stockpile.
The software offers a Multiple Personality Edition, enabling players to compete against up to four opponents, all of whom are computer-generated personalities that provide various levels of entertainment. Additionally, users can choose to play with either standard picture playing cards or opt for special, easy-to-read cards.
Another great feature of Spite and Malice is its flexibility. There are three computer skill levels, so you can choose the difficulty that suits your playing style. You can even change the game rules to create a custom challenge every time you play.
For registered users, there are add-on personalities available, allowing them to expand the cast of competitors. Additionally, via the Internet or LAN connection, users can play against other Spite and Malice enthusiasts.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Spite and Malice. The quick start tutorial made it easy to jump in, and the customizable options kept the game fresh and challenging. If you're looking for a fun and addictive twist on the traditional solitaire formula, I highly recommend giving Spite and Malice a try.
