---------------------------- OVERVIEW ----------------------------------
32 Card Bridge is the english version of the 'Belote BridgΘe' (named
after the supposed author Belot) which is the most popular card game
played in France. The game is highly appealing because it requires
many skills such as reasoning, memory, and planning. Besides, an
exciting element of luck is provided by the random distribution of
cards to each player as well as the ensueing card combinations.
---------------> 32 Card Bridge vs Bridge
Some of the rules are common to the Bridge game:
ò it is a partnership game for four players,
ò each hand is divided into two major phases: the bidding and the play:
-during bidding you make a claim to the number of points you
can earn,
-during play you try to make the contract that you bid.
ò players may use some conventions when bidding,
ò trump is the suit of the highest bid,
ò a contract may be doubled and redoubled.
Yet there are many differences too:
ò it is played with a 32 card deck,
ò the contract is commited for a number of points instead of a number
of tricks,
ò trump cards rankings are different from the other suits,
ò there is no dummy in the card play,
ò some card combinations can bring extra points.
---------------> 32 Card Bridge for Windows
32 Card Bridge for Windows provides an easy-to-use interface featuring
a lot of useful functions. One of the most spectacular aspect of the
program is the verbose analysis it can generate about any particular
situation.
This is due to the 300 Kb artificial intelligence -hardly ever seen in
a computerised card game- and can be used either to receive a detailed
hint or to understand why the computer made a particular bid or played
a particular card.
32 Card Bridge for Windows is highly attractive for any card games lover,
with special regard to Bridge players who will have to get rid of their
habits, as well as other players afraid of the complexity of the Bridge
but willing to do a step towards that great game.
'One of the best card game available for PC', french users said.
