The game of Spades is related to some old cards games like Whist and Bridge. Generally, it's played with four players in what's known as "Partnership Spades." But there is a version designed just for two players. This is Two-Handed Spades, and it's just as immersive and exciting to play. It's a trick-taking game played with a standard deck of cards with the Jokers removed. In the game, the Spades are the Trump card and dominate all other suits on bids made before each round.

Tattoos are as old as man himself. From the earliest times, men were decorating their bodies with art. So it's not surprising that a gambler might be tempted to get a gambling-related tattoo. A means of showing his love for casino games and also of showing off his hobby. But before you dive in feet first, it's important to fully understand exactly what you're getting yourself into. You want the best design and colour as the tattoo will be with you forever. Also, prepare yourself for some pain.

Although the playing card, the Ace of Spades, probably means nothing if you're not into gambling or playing cards, it does have significant meaning across many cultures around the globe. For some unknown reason, it's commonly associated with death and as an omen of ill-fortune. This is perhaps due to the historic use of traditional playing cards as a form of divining the future. More recently, this idea was reinforced thanks to the US troops in Vietnam with the Ace of Spades used as propaganda.
