Spade

I am very new to games, I seen this game and wanted to play it but when I installed it it didn't ask for anything that I was told that it would, when it finished installing I had to download and install a patch so I did that and it doesn't load...when I click on it to load it I get a white screen and nothing else. Is this a stand alone or do I need base game that goes with it? Can someone help please?
