Layout

Your hand (SOUTH) is at the bottom of the screen, your partner (NORTH), controlled by the computer, is at the top. By default N/S will be dealt the higher point hands allowing you to play for declarer more often.

The declarer's contract is displayed at the top left as the team (N/S or E/W), the level (1-7), the trump suit (C, D, H, S or N) and the current up (+n) or down (-n) trick count.

Tricks won by the declaring team are collected at the bottom left. Tricks won by the defending team are collected at the bottom right. The cards in the last trick, for each team, can be viewed at any time by tapping on the pile.

Points

Hand points are calculated as follows.

FOR EACH POINTS
Ace 4
King 3
Queen 2
Jack 1
Singleton 2
Doubleton 1

A player should have more than 12 points to open the bidding and at least 6 points to respond to an opening bid.

Bidding

Tap a suit button (★ for No-Trump) to cycle through the valid bids in that suit then press ✔ to place your bid or ✖ to pass, ! to double and !! to re-double.

Play

When it's your turn to play, drag a card from your hand (or North's hand if dummy) and drop it onto the transparent target area displayed near the center of the table ("S" for South or "N" for North). If you drop it outside the target it will slide back to your hand. This is the computer equivalent of "a card laid is a card played" giving you a chance to reconsider your choice before committing.
