Are You an Addict? A Bridge Playing Addict? Go No Further Than the Bridge Shop Australia for Your Daily Hit.

Shop till you drop, Play to your Queen of Heart’s content, and Learn to Ace the opposition.

Yes, Bridge Addicts – this shop is a one stop place for all bridge stuff.  I recently found it and I am now an addict.  But then I am addictive sort.

I am now the proud owner of many bridge books, both the downloadable and virtual ones.  I recently have found great gifts on the site and have been praised by my Bridge Learning Friends for giving them an assortment of Bridge Books for Beginners.

In fact, I am a bit reluctant to talk about the Bridge Shop as I am wanting to keep my source of knowledge and gifts a secret.

It is like finding the best new restaurant in the area – you want to be the first to have visited so that you can make other people feel dowdy in their lack of knowledge.  “Oh yes, been there many times! Have you only just discovered it?”

You are either a digital reader or a virtual in your hand reader.  That is what I have found.

If you want Digital Bridge Books you can download then in .pdf, Kindle and ePub format – all for a variety of e-book readers like the Kindle and iPad.

There are many Digital Bridge Books worth downloading – but here are two that caught my eye:

1.     25 Bridge Conventions You Should Know [Seagram/Smith]

You can download in three parts or the complete digital edition.

This bridge book was the winner in 1999 of the American Bridge Teachers Association Book of the Year.  You will get 25 basic conventions and treatments which are explained clearly so that you fit them into your standard bidding methods.

It is for all bridge players and beginner bridge players can benefit from the coverage of the bidding systems and conventions.

2. Defending at Bridge – A First Course [Treble]

This will give you the basics of bridge defence in eight short and clearly explained lessons. There are lots of practical examples and topics include opening leads, second and third-hand play, discards and signalling.

For those of you at Beginners Bridge Stage then here are 2 great packs of books for you to buy.

1.     Set of 3 25 Series Bridge Books for Beginners

Clearly, You Are Not Playing with A Full Deck!

That is if, my bridge fellows, you have not found the Bridge Shop Australia in your internet travels.

Do yourself a big favour and log into this site as soon as you can – you will find yourself in an “everything bridge bonanza.”

That is of course, if you don’t happen to be in Australia, Sydney specifically, at this moment in time.  Then you are able to visit in person.  It is a fab site for enthusiasts of all leanings, learnings, genders and religious followers of the game of bridge.

I am not going to tell you more – you have to hone in on it yourself and explore the offerings and I can warn you here, you will be pushing the Add to Cart quite frequently.  So get the card out and go shopping or simply hover around and be entertained.

Some stuff you may like on the site all associated with bridge games:

• Solve the bridge quiz game
• Play the Bridge Hand of the Week
• Try Crazy Bridge – and have more fun
• Explore Vu-Bridge which is a new way to improve your game of bridge. You can play bridge hands interactively on-line and benefit from expert commentary from world-famous teachers such as Marty Bergen, David Bird, Bobby Wolff and Phillip Alder.

• Try the Bridge Crosswords – here is an example of a good way to up your bridge game on your own with no partners!

Down:

1. For instance, gets rid of diamond, being heartless?  (8)
2. Start putting one’s cards on the table in corrupt deal (4)
3. Concerns – lots of little ones raised by partners, normally (6)
4. Patience, for example, as funny fellow hunted animals (4,4)

• The Double Dummy Corner is where you can practice your bridge game.

All you need to do is click on the NEXT button to start or PLAY to try the hand yourself. The GIB button will tell you if you are playing the hand correctly or not.

• Instant Matchpoint Bridge – this is a fun way of converting your table of four social bridge game play into the excitement of real matchpoint bridge. The score of each hand is converted to a matchpoint score out of 80.  This will prepare you for the big time bridge playing tournaments.

Talking of shopping for your bridge game…

• Familiarise yourself with the latest Bridge Playing Software
• Instantly download bridge playing software – to really up your bridge game
• Instructional software
• Check out Marty Bergen’s Audio Visual Lessons
• Lots of Try Before You Buy opportunities

In the Cub and Home Supplies section ….

• You can buy bidding boxes, card holders, bridge cloths, pens and pencils and basically everything bridge.
• But most of all do yourself the second favour of the day and upgrade your bridge table. The shop sells two types of card tables, or bridge tables:
• The Deluxe Card Bridge Table
• The Vinyl Bridge Table

Both are collapsible (a bit like Matilda the Mild) and have fold away legs for easy storage.

Take it from the seasoned bridge players – there is only one thing worse than a Cruella de Ville at a bridge table; Cruella de Ville at an old wonky one.

I hope you enjoy the Bridge Shop site.  Shop, Play and Learn to your Queen of Heart’s content.
