Your seat at a bridge.games table, mid-hand: your cards fanned at the bottom, dummy laid out across the table, two cards in the trick and it's your play, with six scored boards in the side drawer and one kibitzer watching — Your seat, your play — the session scored board by board in the drawer, and one kibitzer watching from the rail.

1♣ Opening bid · what’s on the table

Everything a table needs, nothing between you and the cards.

See and hear your table

Built-in video and voice at every casual table. Four faces in four corners, one click to join, nothing to install.

Never wait for a fourth

A capable bot takes any empty chair the moment you ask, plays at a human pace, and gives the seat back just as easily. And when your bot partner wins the auction, you can play the hand.

Tournaments, joined or hosted

Enter any open event from the lobby — solo players always get a partner — or run your own pairs game: matchpoints or IMPs, and the movement runs itself.

Your table, your rules

Who sits, who watches, whether undos are allowed, private or open — the table captain decides, and can change it mid-session.

Every board is scored

Casual hands play against a field — everyone on the site who got your board. Matchpoints or cross-IMPs on every result.

Free means free

No subscription, no deal limits, no robot rental. A free account in under a minute is all you need.

Mid-auction at your turn: the auction pad on the felt records every call, and the bidding box below it offers a level, then a strain, with pass, double, and an alert button at hand — Two taps and your call is made — pick a level, then a strain — while the auction pad sits in the middle of the felt like a real one, every call on it, and the alert button right beside your bid.

2♦ Video & voice at the table

See your friends, not just their cards.

Turn on your camera and the table looks back: four faces, one in each corner, seated where they’d really be sitting. Say “well played” out loud. Groan at a bad split together. It’s your regular table — wherever everyone happens to live.

One click to join. You see and hear the table from the moment you sit down; your own camera stays off until you choose.
Video never covers the cards. Tiles keep to the corners — the felt stays clear, whoever joins.
Player to player wherever the network allows. Your video and voice go straight to your tablemates, encrypted. When a firewall won’t permit a direct path, the encrypted stream takes our relay instead — still unreadable to us.
Computers and tablets today. Phones play cards-only for now. At a tournament, voice and video are the director’s call.

♠♥♦♣

Four corners, four faces — the cards keep the middle.

3♥ Tournaments & hosting

Run the game you wish existed nearby.

The lobby lists every event with registration open — step into one solo, or sign up with a partner by name. And when you’d rather run the game than wait for one: hosting is a button, not a committee. Name your event, choose matchpoints or cross-IMPs, set the rounds and the clock — the site seats every pair, moves them each round, and keeps live standings. Prefer head-to-head? Set up a team match: two tables, one scorecard, IMPs.

Enter alone, play with a partner. Solo entrants are paired at start time, and a bot partners the odd one out — nobody registers and sits out.
Real duplicate scoring. Matchpoints as a percentage of the field, or cross-IMPs on the standard scale.
The event runs itself. A round clock at every table, automatic seating, and final standings the moment the last board scores.

The bridge.games lobby: live tables with every seat shown and one seat open to take, an upcoming matchpoint pairs event open for entries, and buttons to create a table, host a tournament, or set up a team match — The lobby: what’s live, who has a seat open, the next event on the calendar — and one button to host your own.

4♥ The captain’s table

Every table has a captain. Make it yours.

Open a table and you hold the anchor: you seat people and bots, approve who may sit, decide what kibitzers can see and say, allow or bar undos, and can flip the table private or rated — all mid-session, without starting over.

Table settings, live. Scoring, privacy, rated play, kibitzer rules, undos — changed from your chair whenever the table agrees it’s time.
The captain’s menu. Skip a board, fill empty seats with bots, remove a kibitzer, or review the log — every call, card, and seat change, timestamped.
The essentials stay at hand. Claim and undo sit in the command bar (undos still ask your opponents’ consent).

The captain's menu, opened from the anchor button: skip board, fill seats with bots with the bot list open beside it, view log, remove kibitzer, table settings — The captain’s menu — one anchor tap away.

The table settings card: scoring against every table that plays the same board, private, rated, allow undos, play the hand when your bot partner declares, voice, video, and kibitzer permissions, with a Save settings button — The table settings card — the whole rulebook on one page, editable mid-session.

4♠ Scoring & fair play

Serious about the game part.

Every hand you play is kept: the full deal, the auction, the play card by card, and how you did against everyone who held your cards. And the deal itself is guarded the way a club director would want.

Your browser only ever receives what your seat is entitled to. What reaches a screen depends on the role, the state of the hand and the table’s settings: a player sees their own hand, and dummy once the lead is faced; dummy sees declarer’s; whoever answers a claim sees all four; spectators and directors see what the table allows; everyone sees the whole deal once the board is over. The server holds the rest.
Most bots see exactly what you see. They read the same single-seat view a person gets. The one exception is marked: the Double Dummy bot plays with all four hands showing, and any board it sits at is flagged and kept out of everyone’s comparisons.
Fresh boards, always. You’re never dealt a board you’ve already played — or even watched.
A tournament is as quiet as its director wants. Voice and video are switches on the event: on for a club night among friends, off where partners could trade more than bids.

The traveller panel for one board: every table's result with contract, score, and matchpoint percentage — The traveller — every table that held your cards, and how each one fared.

The replay panel for a finished board: the contract and result, the full deal diagram, and the complete auction, ready to step through card by card — After the hand: the deal, the auction, your score against the field — and a card-by-card replay.

Play, and see how you did

Every board scored against the field, every hand kept for replay. When you’re ready, host a tournament of your own.

Your seat on a phone, mid-play: the board, contract, trick count, and your running score in a strip up top, the full auction beneath it, dummy's cards fanned beside the trick, and your own hand at the bottom with the claim and undo controls — Phones deal you in too — your seat with the score strip, the full auction, dummy beside the trick, your cards down by your thumbs. Or watch from the rail: at tables that let kibitzers see everything, the whole deal is face up. Cards-only: video stays on bigger screens.

Kibitzing from a phone: the kibitzing badge in the header, all four hands face up around the trick, and the auction and score strip above them — Phones deal you in too — your seat with the score strip, the full auction, dummy beside the trick, your cards down by your thumbs. Or watch from the rail: at tables that let kibitzers see everything, the whole deal is face up. Cards-only: video stays on bigger screens.

The table is set.
