Sometimes, you just wanna play some bridge.

Or you can play online in duplicate clubs, rubber bridge clubs. You can play at an open table, an invite table (friends live too far away? Invite them to join you for a few hands of your favourite game) or against robots (beginner, intermediate or advanced). Choose your conventions, your scoring. You can set up and save convention cards for your different partnerships. You can even upload your own hands, or save played hands for another time.

The reviews below can be found on Amazon.
5 Stars: You must have a knowledge of bridge since this is not a learning tool; it is a practice tool. I like it.
4 Stars: This is a great program for practicing. It gives you hints on bidding and playing. However, it is not a good learning program – it leaves off much of the why. If you are beginner player, use another program to learn and then purchase this for tons of practice.
5 Stars: My husband gets hours of enjoyment from Bridge Baron
5 Stars: Bridge Baron Game is perfect for all types of Bridge. Bought for my husband – he loves it and uses it for several hours every day.
