Your agreements as a decision tree, with conventions from a library. What you get: one answer for both of you, even between two rounds.

Real hands, your own system, a daily streak and opening leads. What you get: recognising agreements when it is your turn.
Play the suit beta

Home play
Together at the table, each on their own phone. Easily play boards from real tournaments at home and compare your score with the field. What you get: home bridge gets more fun and fairer.
Bid boards with your partner beta
Bid boards that were really played at tournaments, together with your partner: live at the table or each whenever it suits you. The opponents bid what was bid at the real tables. What you get: a real result in % or IMPs against the field.
Analysis beta
Analyse your results and trends: see what goes well and where the opportunities are. With almost 400,000 boards played in over 20,000 competition sessions. What you get: knowing where you can gain the most points.
