3D Bridge Deluxe - Mac

It is a great game! The 3-d card series by Freeverse has revolutionized the computer card industry. Online play is amazing. Try it!

I went for this game as it works natively in Mac OS X. I already had a copy of Bridge Baron 13 which was great but ran in Classic mode. Having tried both I would strongly recommend Bridge Baron. Better Play. Wider range of options. Much more learning. 3D Bridge has better graphics but it does not provide you with a better tool for learning or playing. I have subsequently bought a copy of Bridge Baron 14 which runs on Mac OS X. Fabulous software.

First, you have to remember this game is for older Mac's and it does not work on the models (the one with Intel processor). The delivery was good and the game is fun, at least for me it is as I am beginner in this game

Geez. Over and over after the bidding by your computer partner is done you find...we had a cold slam. This game is so terrible that I trashed it. I trashed it after seeing three small slams underbid. And my partner never responded correctly to cue leads. Yuk.

I enjoy playing this Bridge game. Sometimes it is hard to understand some of various partners. At times I am surprised at the bidding ie jumping to 6 hearts with out the cards. All in all I like the game.

They should have spent more time learning the game instead of wasting it on graphics.

Sure, the game lacks "Bridge Baron's" abilities. In fact it doesn't even come close. However, when it comes to online play, there's nothing out there that matches it. The online interface is smooth and easy to use. The ability to choose animated players makes it a lot of fun. And, compared to sights such as Yahoo, Freeverse is much more "family friendly". As they use to say following an episode of cheers "Everyone knows your name."

Ujwala complains in his review that 3D Bridge Deluxe lacks the range of playing options and teaching resources of Bridge Baron. These are points well taken. However, 3D Bridge Deluxe has a distinct advantage for Macintosh users: online play. Bridge Baron only supports online play for Windows; 3D Bridge Deluxe allows Mac users (OS 9 or OS X) to play online via the GameSmith server. Playing with real people is both more instructive and more fun than playing with even the best computerized partners and opponents.

bought this as a gift and what a shame too.... the dvd only allows you a few trial and will not accept the keycode so I paid good money for what could have been downloaded for free of the net... any idea how o fix this?

I was unable to load the disc into my mac so can't really review it
