Editorial Review:

Hoyle Bridge Club is a friendly, funny new take on the classic card game. Choose from 11 unique characters, from zany goofballs to stiff businessmen - even a pirate and a puppy. All characters have their own voice-acting and playing styles, to make each game different. Along with standard bidding conventions, it also has game saves, reloads and hand replays. Also features a variety of backgrounds, card backs, and Sound sets to make the experience more colorful.

Terrible at Any Price:

I picked this game up on a whim while visiting LA for only 9.99. It did come with the cards and score pad. I'm sorry I did not try to order here. I would have read the reviews and would not buy it at any price. I will echo the other reviews. Bidding is ridiculous and play is almost as bad. Do not buy!

DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!:

THIS IS OF SUCH POOR POOR QUALITY, YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED FOR TRYING TO SELL THIS. I WAS UNABLE TO INSTALL IT AND RETURNED IT IMMEDIATELY. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH AMAZON AGAIN AS FOR ALL THE DAMAGED MERCHANDISE I HAVE RECEIVED!!!

Bridge Club:

I learned to play bridge on a ship returning from WWII in the Pacific
I enjoy playing on the computer, although sometimes it is very frustrating because of the way my partner returns my bids. I will bid 2 Hearts and he will say 3 clubs. I, having 3 clubs, will pass thinking he had a strong club suit, and he will have 1 club.

Not very good for beginners wanting to learn bidding:

This box actually includes two bridge games. One is the standard Hoyle game, with the face creator and opponents like Harley the bear. It is very similar (if not exact) to the bridge game in the Hoyle Card Games package. This game does not provide hints.
The other game is MVP Bridge Deluxe, which is a very old shareware title written for Windows 3.1. The copyright is 1994-1998. This is the one with the advertised in-game hints. Unfortunately, the hints are not very helpful to someone who wants to learn... more info
