Barack Obama Has Been Teaching Sasha And Malia To Play Spades And It Kind Of Sounds Like It's Getting Serious - Blavity

The Obamas have been having fierce spades tournaments since quarantine began, according to Michelle Obama . During a wide-ranging discussion with former NPR host Michele Norris, Michelle said the family spends most of the day apart within their Washington D.C. home. But at around 5 p.m., all four congregate around a puzzle, followed by an intense game of spades. "They've got a spades tournament. Barack has taught the girls spades, so now there's this vicious competition. They wouldn't have sat down, but for this quarantine, to learn how to play a card game with their dad," Michelle said. The entire discussion was a good listen, but the internet honed in on Sasha and Malia falling in love with spades.
