1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy This Game!!!, November 21, 2005

By	Ellen Rutherford - See all my reviews

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

this is a TERRIBLE program! here are several things that are wrong with the programming:
1) the software is buggy - when you undo the bids to redo the bidding, the program often doesn't show you the bidding box, leaving you no choice but to deal a new hand.
2) the program doesn't show you everyone's hand at the end, so you can't analyze what should have happened
3) the 'tutor' plays like a beginner - it takes all the tricks off the top - doesn't know how to set up tricks or set up transportation.
4) the online portion doesn't appear to let you simply watch games, in order to learn, as other online programs do (you know, the ones that only support windows...)
5) the bidding box is cumbersome - it takes 2 clicks to make a bid, rather than just one, and God forbid you make a mistake! especially on-line, there doesn't appear to be a way to alert you opponents and ask to correct the bid.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, January 12, 2006

Received this as a Christmas gift and was very disappointed. It isn't anywhere near as good as Omar Sharif's Bridge for Windows. Now I'm wondering how much of a mistake I made in buying an Apple laptop!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad review, December 16, 2008

By	Donn (Nebraska, USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

I guess I misjudged what this product was about. I wanted some honest to goodness bridge practice. From the goofy characters to the off the wall bidding and rank beginner play, this bridge game is a flop.
