This bridge game,
, is the most advanced, affordable contract rubber bridge computer card game on the
market today. Version 3.1 is Windows 7 compatible (32 and 64 bit). It will realistically play bridge with the user as if there were
three other individuals sitting at the table. It is visually pleasing,
simple to use, and reliable. It has a number of unique features that makes it an exciting game for the
beginner or the most advanced player. There are three levels of play
in
(Basic,
Intermediate and Advanced). By
selecting the proper level you can gradually work toward the top level of
play. You can add one or several
conventions at a time. The more unusual
conventions are alerted and have a help file that explains each
convention. Hints are available at all
times during bidding and card play. In
fact, one can let the computer play an entire board by repeatedly selecting hint. The user may
claim at any time during bidding or play of the cards.
Advanced
players, will of course, immediately select their convention choices and play at
that level. Version 2 [published in June '03] had many new features including Acol bidding, weak no-trump convention
and Chicago bridge scoring. [Click Here to see log
of the changes]. You
may view the other players' hands in real time or select a view of
the originally dealt hands [double dummy]. Although this is technically cheating,
this feature is actually an excellent teaching tool. The computer, on the
other hand, will never cheat. Bidding and card play pathways act independently, never looking in the other
players' hands. Unlike other bridge games on the internet, this game
requires no monthly fees and no connection to the internet. The registered
program will play forever!

In the Advanced level, bidding can be done in
the manner of a duplicate bridge player. That is, sundry conventions such as
Weak No-Trump, Weak Two
Bids, Roman Key Card Blackwood, Gerber, Drury, Malowan, Acol etc. are supported. Goren type bridge conventions can be played at any skill level. Please see
an example of a convention card. The user will
generate a new and different hand with each deal. None of the hands are
pre-programmed. A random number generator creates all of the hands.
Therefore, billions of possible hands maybe encountered. [See
ACBL's Bridge Bulletin review of game.]
A companion program,
,
allows the user to directly introduce specifically constructed hands into
the
game. Six of these
pre-arranged hands can be transported for play at one time. You may save as a separate file
any
hands you wish to play or keep for analysis. There is no limit to the number of files that can be saved. This auxiliary program is a handy learning
tool as one can enter hands from newspaper columns, bridge books or real life
hands. The user may vary each individual card, the vulnerability and the dealer. He can flip or reverse the hands once dealt.
Six hands may be saved internally in
, but it
cannot create a separate file without employing its sister program,
. By transferring
individual hands to the companion program and back again, a unique learning
environment is created. Thus, you can create your own personal library of
individual hands for future reference.
