Join us at DUPP&SWAT for a fun, community-centered event where you’ll learn how to play the beloved card game of Spades. Whether you’re brand new to the game or just brushing up on your skills, this workshop is perfect for all experience levels.

We'll kick things off with a giant card demo to teach the rules in a clear and engaging way. Then we’ll break into small tables so you can practice what you’ve learned. Our instructor and helpers will be on hand to support you, answer questions, and keep the vibes high.

This is more than just a card game. Spades is a cultural tradition. It’s laughter, strategy, partnership, and a whole lot of table talk. Let’s keep that tradition alive together.

🎶 Good music, light food, and a welcoming vibe await.
👀 Just want to watch and learn? That’s totally cool too.
