Bridge Baron 26 (PC/MAC)

I have only had this on my Imac for a few days but so far it has worked flawlessly. Gameplay is a little clumsy with more steps between hands compared to older versions of Bridge Baron. (I have used the program since version 13). My only small minor annoyance is that even on my 27" screen the bidding icons are a little small and hard to see. Possibly the reason is that I have my computer set to see more items on the screen and it makes each item smaller. Bridge Baron is a must for any bridge player who wants players to practice with. It's bidding and game playing aren't perfect (as most human players) but great for keeping in practice.

I received it, and it appears to require an Internet connection rather than run stand-alone. Perhaps it's because I'm accessing the Internet via a Firewall, but it just doesn't work. Will try to fix it tonight, but plan to contact Amazon tomorrow and return it.I HATE SOFTWARE THAT DOESN'T WORK!

It's a good game, but I don't understand why, when I start it up, it always says, "Checking for an internet connection." I never use the internet for a game. This is version 26, I have had previous versions and it seems to me that all they do for new versions is add far-fetched conventions that hardly anyone would ever use.

The Bridge Baron has a major problem. The information about the bidding is SO SMALL that it is next to impossible for me to read what bids are made and what the results are.I direct 3 or more games a week (over a hundred players) and am often asked for info about how to improve one's game.I would not be able to suggest this as a source of improvement. Most of the players are retired and would have problems playing Bridge Baron.because the bidding info is TOO SMALL.Some of my partners were going to upgrade to BB26, but on seeing my copy, decided not to buy the new version..

Bridge Baron 25 is better because the format is much easier to use.

I am really getting help moving my game up a level or two with Bridge Baron. It is a great tool

The bridge baron 27 did not go into my desk Mac. I returned it. I first deleted my Bridge Baron 26, which I loved. I want it again, but I'm not sure it will go into my computer. Please let me know if I can try the Bridge Baron 26. My email is barbaraklein@comcast.net. I live in California.

An annoying interface but works well.
