Similar Games
There are a few varieties of Spades. One of the most popular versions is Tarneeb, played mostly in the Middle East. The main alteration between the two is that Tarneeb uses all four suits, not just Spades, therefore the game may be considered a variation of Whist. Tarneeb, (Arabic: طرنيب) means "trump".
