I had to stop playing spades with my family. I like liking them and folks got hot. Same with monopoly. And Mario Kart...
Wait. Why the fuck was my family trying to tear itself apart?

Love playing ANY game for money. Raises the stakes so much. I'm a sucker for betting on games I'm playing in. Used to hustle people at pool when I was in my late teens. Changed over to this little Mexican arcade spot in town and tried to hustle in King of Fighters. NOT A GOOD PLAN.
Real talk: anybody straight hustled someone?
I did the same in Soul Cali 2, but successfully. Had to leave before I took too much.

We started talking to our girls about 6 around the age of 7 or 8 think. My ex-wife was a dirctor at Planned Parenthood at the time so they got real talk.

You on NeoGAF and don't know? Games are serious business..
Umm... Nope. Maybe that was the undertone I was missing. People get pretty heated with no money on the line. I didn't know Spades was a betting game. In that context I can see how talking across the board would get you shot... Or stabbed as a 12 year old.

Understandable..that game gets personal.
This is why I don't play anything for money. Spades is a fun, social game on its own right, but put some money on the table?
At that point, spades turns into craps with cards...
EDIT: You ever see people play spades for money with everyone playing solo? Shit gets wayyyyy too intense.
I am willing to contest that opinion.

My mom sponsored me when my cousin challenged me to Dominos at a reunion one year. After I lost, she told me not to talk to her for a while, lmao
I was playing with my dad, uncle, and cousin. Maybe my 3rd time playing spades altogether - I didn't even know what renigging was until my uncle pulled his steak knife off of his plate and told me that if I ever did it again he'd cut me
my dad didn't say shit lmao

bitch I'm taking calls.
See this was the game in my family that got everyone heated. Just yelling and acting ignorant, like one of my cousins took the cooler with drinks in it back to their car after they lost cus they were that mad. I was like "where did the drinks go" and my sister told me not to bring it up.
My sister and I used to play with my grandparents without any problems but whenever my cousins came over shit got real. My grandma accused one of my cousins of cheating all the time and we just shook our heads and ignored her most of the time. But then one time she asked me to get her cigarettes out of her purse and she had dominos in there...smh
Whats the point of both of you getting cut? I mean come on.
Invest in a safety razor, good shaving cream/powder + shaving brush.
Nice warm damp towel on your face for a good 3 minutes before the shave and razor bump issues if you have them will no longer be a thing.
+1. You can also use a DE razor in the shower minus the brush and shaving cream/powder (I just use the lather from black soap). I found I get much smoother shaves doing it that way.
I used to play Spades with relatives for fun until I reneged for the first time. Now I just watch.

Never played Spades but I have been a part of a few uncomfortable domino games.

Which variation of spades do you play? There are a bunch and it seemed to vary by household.
The one I grew up with, the trump cards are a little funky: remove the two of clubs and two of hearts and replace them with the big and little joker, which become the two highest spades. Then the two of diamonds becomes third highest spade, the two of spades is the fourth highest, then ace and king on down. If you make two or more books than what you bid, you get your bid subtracted from your score. Bidding and making a ten book hand is worth two hundred points. Blind bids are worth double.
Sometimes the first hand bid's itself, so whatever you make is what goes on the scoreboard.
Rarely: Before bidding, allow passing one or two spades to your partner in exchange for their weakest cards, but only if those are your only two spades.
Some people play with shitty additional rules to speed up the pace like:
Ace Check - asking your partner how many aces they have and if you have all four between the two of you and you make them all you get an additional hundred points.
Top Five - same thing, but with the top five spades
First Seven - make the first seven books in a hand, extra hundred points
Bid and make all 13 books - game over

The worst hand of spades I ever played in my life: I'm playing casually with friends. My partner is a novice who barely knows the strict basics. My hand is ridiculous, as is hers I come to find out. We had 9 books easy, so the other team goes board. They renege on the second book of the game so now I'm plotting on a Boston. My partner lets garbage walk three straight times. I win 5 and she only manages 2, only winning the 2 with high spades.
So we get set at 7 books against a team who went board and reneged, while at least 3 books were gifted away by my partner. I didn't get too upset cuz she's new at the game and all that, but I haven't looked her in the eye since.

I wonder if anyone has gotten killed over spades
Definitely. People have been killed over madden. I bet the spades death count is at least triple digits
Why you writing checks in 2015?

As a white dude who doesn't know shit, is Spades basically the arena where you get to put your Blackpoints(tm) to use? Sounds like an awful lot of Dehumanizing Stares, Blood Point Aggressive Steps and Stanza Demon Footing going on.

Hell yeah. Spades gets too real. That's why I can't participate
Speaking of which, when you gon' get the BPS/Pimps & Simps done?
Well, I am a white dude in central Indiana. There is only one black person in the family and he's extremely conscious of being the only black guy around, so he doesn't join in on any games or really say much at all besides calling all the women Miss whatever. He's very Southern Gentleman black man. I believe he grew up in Mississippi in the 70s. I have no idea how he got dragged into this shit. Pretty confident it was because my aunt thought she would be shocking everyone to date a black man, but no one (not even the couple of rednecky 65% racist ones) gave even the slightest hint of a shit and everyone likes him more than her anyway because she's a miserable cunt of a human.

My best and worst moment is when I took a dude's entire paycheck. He had just got paid. He was a real piece of shit though.
Hey I don't if I made this post before, and I probably talk about this kinda thing too much begin with but:
Why is Black on Black porn rare now? Seems like every professionally made porno featuring a black actress is interracial with a bald white dude or that annoying asshole James Deen.
