BridgePal, the computer version of the card game of bridge. Here's
your chance to learn, practice, or just enjoy the game of bridge
without needing three other players. BridgePal is played just like
bridge, except the computer shuffles and deals the cards, bids and
plays three hands, and does the scoring. You will bid and play the
South hand. If your team gets the bid, then you buy both the North
and South hands.
There are three ways to play BridgePal. SOLO bridge is for one
player. TWO PLAYER bridge provides scoring for two people, who take
turns playing random hands. Similarly, DUPLICATE scores for two, but
deals the same sets of hands to both players.
All three game options will ask if you want the "Best Hand (Y/N)"? If
you reply Y(es), the hand with the most points is given to you (South)
on every round. All options also ask if you want "Automatic Trick
Pickup (Y/N)"? If you reply Y(es), the cards will be "picked up" after
the fourth card is played on each trick. Reply N(o) and the cards
will be displayed until you "Push any key to continue."
BridgePal bidding is the same as conventional bridge. Bids which are
not legitimate, like one club after three hearts, will cause the
message "ILLEGAL BID" to appear. This will repeat until a legal bid
is made. BridgePal understands (and makes) the following bids:
Preempt, Short Club, Take Out Double, Penalty Double, Overcall, and
Blackwood.
Deciding what to bid can be difficult, but HELP is available. Just
push "H" and the computer will suggest a bid for you. To see the
point COUNT for your hand, push "C" before you make a bid. To exit
the hand press the ESC(ape) key.
Hardware Requirements : IBM compatible computer. Floppies or Hard Disk
