Quickfire rules: After the cards are dealt evenly between four players, the players, in turn, can “pass” or bid the number of tricks they believe their team can win above 6 in any suit, or “No Trumps”. The bidding proceeds like an auction, each player in turn can make a higher bid than the current winning bid or “pass”. The player to the left of the Declarer makes the opening lead. Each player then plays one card in turn, following suit if they can. If they cannot follow suit they may play any other card in their hand, including a trump card. After a trick is won by the best card played, the player who took the trick leads the first card to the next trick. The aim for the winning bidding team is to take as many tricks as to at least win their contract. The other team is trying to win enough tricks to stop them. After the opening lead, the Dummy's cards are turned face up for every player to see. The Declarer in the hand plays both their own cards and the Dummy's. If your team wins the contract, you will play both the Declarer and Dummy hands. At the end of each round, the winning bidder's score contract points if they met or bettered their contract, or give “Undertrick” penalty points to their opponents. The “Rubber” is won by the team with the highest score after the first team wins two out of three games. The games are won when one team wins 100 contract points.
Two card suits
Who bids on a two card suit. Not once but repeatedly. This is crazy. No way can a partner work out of that situation. Did it again. I quit
Mostly good!
I wish there was a feature to finish a hand without actually playing it. Many times, I know how the tricks will play and would like to finish it. I like the layout and the hints, if I need them. Sometimes the hint info is just wrong. It will say I have 14 points when I only have 11–and I can’t figure out how it got to 14. And sometimes it will say my partner has 10 points and the bidding didn’t indicate that —and when the hand is laid out, I was right! And many times my partner won’t return my lead. Very frustrating! But, may be realistic! But, overall, I get hours of enjoyment from this game.

I find the bidding erratic
In one instance my partner jumped from 2NT to 4NT when he could have easily bid 3NT. Who does that? 3NT is game and there is no reason to go to 4NT unless he is inviting a slam. But our cards were just not there for a slam. And of course we could not even make the 10 tricks. 3NT was by far the better call. We would have completed our contract and had a game under our belt. In other instances my partner would not go up to bid a game call and stop short at 3 hearts or 2 NT when all indications were that we could bid higher. And we made the extra trick in each case. A little frustrating.
App is broken
This app is currently not working. The cards no longer show up.
Major glitch
Once in a while the game will start, asks you to make a bid, but cards aren’t actually visible… it has happened several times now.
Good practice for learners
I like the fact that you can decide on the bidding prior to asking for a hint. It allows me to think it through first. Very enjoyable.
