Origins of the Spades Game

The Spades game was invented in the United States, probably in Cincinnati (OH), around 1937 or 1939. Some opinions exist that it descends originally from Whist game. Many authors support the idea for kindred between Spades and other trick games like Bridge and Pinochle, where bidding and partnership are key points in the game. But it is really hard to ascertain the exact background of the game.

The modern Spades were very popular in college campuses in the 40s. The game was played everywhere, due to it very quick action and possibilities for advanced play. However, it had no international popularity.
Moving together with American soldiers, Spades became quite popular in Europe during the Second World War. It was possible the soldiers to play the game in any break between the battles.

After the WWII the game was spread in Germany, due to the presence of the American troops.
