Love, Peace & Spades:
A Rather Fly Game Night
Love, Peace & Spades™ is officially back outside!
Spring 2026 continues our season of community-centered game nights and cultural gatherings — featuring ranked Spades tournaments, open play tables, music, food, and the kind of joy that only happens when the right people meet at the right table.
These events are built around camaraderie, homegrown culture, and our favorite #BlackFamilyHeirlooms—Spades, Bid Whist, Tunk/Tonk, Dominoes, Uno, and more. It doesn’t matter if you’re pulling up with friends, meeting your tribe for the first time, or coming solo dolo—Love, Peace & Spades is designed to feel welcoming, alive, and unforgettable.
From hosting neighborhood pop-ups to special appearances, we’re creating spaces where fun and meaning live in the same room—and where play is always the invitation.
#AllPlayersWelcome to pull up, tap in, and click the link to learn full event details and registration.
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.
About Us
🖤✌🏽♠️
Our mission is to curate Love, Peace & Spades™ as a modern-day “hush harbor,” a protected space created by and for Black people where we can promote intergenerational communion through music, tech, education, and play.
Love, Peace & Spades™ events and programming address social isolation and trauma commonly associated with past gaming experiences by reestablishing new and healthier relationships to gameplay through ‘Spades Academy,™ a curriculum-based activation for players to develop skills and strategies.
