Bridge Trainer

Bridge Trainer is based on SAYC and is designed to help your learn bridge and play bridge better.

Bridge is a trick-taking game played by four players in two competing partnerships, with partners sitting opposite each other around a table.

The game starts by dealing a pack of 52 cards one card at a time to each players. Each player will have 13 cards on hand. Card ranking starts from Ace highest, then King, ..down to Two lowest.

Each player starting from the one left to the dealer will “bid” according to the strength and distribution pattern of his/her cards, and the number of tricks its partnership expect to take more than 6 tricks. Each player in a clockwise direction will then take turn to bid. If a player does not want to bid, he/she says “Pass”.

The partnership who bid the highest contract has to win tricks equal to its level of contract plus 6. If the partnership makes the contract, it gains score. Otherwise the other partnership gains score.

The challenge of the game is how a partnership bid the highest contract according the strength and distribution pattern of their cards and how to play to make the contract.

Bridge-Trainer has three modes of playing. The Learning Mode lets you see all the cards and give you suggestion on how to bid and play. The Practice Mode lets you see only your cards but still give you suggestion on how to bid and play. The Compete Mode simulates the real game where you play with a robot as your partner and two robots as your opponents.
