Love, Peace & Spades:
A Rather Fly Game Night
Love. Peace. Spades. Basketball.
We’re excited to participate with The LA Yearbook for their annual classic happening at Terasaki Budokan (249 S. Los Angeles St.).
The Classic is a community-first, amateur basketball tournament, bringing together hoopers, creatives, and supporters from across the City of Angels for a one-day celebration of roundball.
Once the winners are declared, Love, Peace & Spades will be hosting our Pull-Up & Play, inviting all players to have a seat at our table, full of our signature games, giving everyone a chance to connect, compete, and build camaraderie after the buzzer sounds.
Pull up, play a hand, make friends, and be part of the community!
Tickets are available on @Posh.VIP.
A cultural experience dedicated to our most storied card games.
Spades Academy by Love, Peace & Spades at Our House brings together seasoned experts and coaches, curious first-timers, and players looking to rebuild their skills for our once-a-month gatherings filled with strategy, laughter, and connection.
From Bid Whist to Tunk/Tonk to Dominoes to Spades, these games have deep roots in our culture and have long been a key ingredient for fellowship and generational exchange.
What to expect when you attend: Play & Learn: Tables for both experienced card game players and those eager to learn the ropes. Culture & Community: A warm, inclusive “hush harbor that celebrates the heritage of our play traditions.
Wine & Food Vibes: South LA Wine Club’s curated wines will be available for pour, while Chef Binta’s WithBEE, Afro-Caribbean cuisine, will serve lite bites throughout the night.
Love, Peace & Spades™ is a community of creatives, professionals, and grassroots organizers who curate free, donation-based game experiences to honor, celebrate, and cherish our Black family heirlooms (e.g. Uno, Bid Whist, Tunk (or Tonk), Dominoes, and, of course, Spades).
In addition to gameplay, we offer pop-up experiences, skills-based education, tech/VR integration, a comprehensive directory of Black-owned businesses, game developers, and makers, plus an annual Spades tournament and festival for enthusiastic players.
