SpiteNET: Spite and Malice is a challenging card game that engages the player with its resident computer personality opponent, Spite. As the game is intended to be played, it is a battle of the wills as each player tries to be the first to finish playing all their side cards. Spite & Malice has often been called "Husband & Wife" to reflect the kind of tit for tat game play it evokes.
Spite will taunt you as any human opponent would, with sounds and words...

Spite and Malice is easy to learn how to play. Build up Center piles in solitaire fashion (Ace to Queen sequence) with cards from your Hand and Hold piles so that you are able to play your Side card. The first player who plays all 20 of their Side cards to the Center piles wins!
