The game uses a card-table perspective centered on contract bridge. A hand is dealt, players bid to establish the contract, and the declarer side attempts to win the required number of tricks while the defenders try to prevent that result.

Progress comes from completing deals and accumulating results according to bridge scoring. The available opponents, options, and input methods can vary by DOS version, so undocumented controls and modes are omitted here.

Study the auction before choosing a contract, and count both high-card strength and distribution. During play, track which cards have already appeared and preserve entries between hands when planning a long suit.

Avoid bidding beyond the strength and fit shown by the hand unless the scoring situation clearly justifies the risk. When defending, record the opening lead and use the bidding to estimate the hidden hands.
