BRIDGE BARON REVIEWS UPGRADE

Intermediate, advanced, and expert players: your decision will depend on whether you already own an earlier version and are trying to decide whether to upgrade ($29.95). Novices, of course, should try the free demo, but if it doesn’t suit you (Ha! I said, “Suit you!” We had to get at least one bit of card-suit of wordplay in here!), try the less expensive and more visually compelling Freeverse game. This program makes a great teaching tool or practice tool for the serious student. You can use the software to generate hands to practice many bidding conventions, save ’em, print ’em-all kinds of stuff. This software is extraordinarily vast and efficient it includes two billion deals, with tournaments available for purchase.

The other significant change I made was to add many of the bidding conventions to the active window. The first session was faster but not very challenging. For my second session, I set the judgement levels as high as they would go and had a much more fulfilling experience. In my first session, I played at the fast settings. If you set the bidding and playing judgement higher than normal, the game will take longer to play, but will make better decisions. Be sure to stop by the Options menu, to customize all sorts of things to suit your style.
