DUO - BRIDGE Board Two Bridge players can anywhere and at any time; there is no need to go out to the Club on these black nights.
You will enjoy it in any situation, because it is the very best Bridge game for two people yet invented.
Let us admit at once that there are certain technical difficulties which cannot be overcome. We are well aware of them but they do not affect character of the game in any way. Neither players sees more than his own hand while bidding and only his own hand and Dummy during play.
It is obvious that peculiar bidding, psychics and wild jump-overbids are no use in such a game, indeed the hands have been very carefully selected.
