Great
I read the previous reviews but do not agree with either of them. The game page has three view sizes and fills 2/3s of the screen at its biggest which is fine. I am a beginner using ACOL and providing you set up at your level and speed its excellent.
As a beginner I decide what bid I will make then check the "HINTS" and see whether the computer makes the same choice. Well worth the money and absolute bargain and a great tool for a beginner.
Times Bridge
I find this does not reflect the ACOL system I have just learned via the Scottish Bridge Union and causes confusion since the bidding rules are completely different. Play by the computers seems a bit odd as they sacrifice tricks and lose the game!
A bridge too far?
Bridge can become addictive and that's what I found with this game. Once you get started you won't want to stop. My only complaint is that it is played too quickly and there's not enough information on the screen about how the bidding went once you start the play. Also I could do with more information about how I could have done better. Not the game for the complete beginner but good fun once you have a general understanding of the bidding.
