I've been watching for a couple of years now and have NOT seen any talk about
bridge in the Mac newsgroups.  I paid attention for awhile to rec.?.bridge but
it was often over my head.

I am planning on writing a card-game playing tool for the Mac.  It initially is
directed at solitaire games, but with enough skill, someone might be able to
program in strategy for bridge.  When the tool is closer to production I will
drop a line for interested beta-testers.

Anyone out there interested in this type of game?  Or is everyone into the
magic and sorcery, battle-ho, conquer the enemy/*/universe type of games?
It seems like that is the majority of game types discussed in this group.
(No! I'm not flaming anyone's taste in games... just trying to find out what
kind of games people like, and which ones they have and HAVEN'T seen (yet)
on the Mac.)

Besides, people like G. Gygax and Avalon Hill and Broderbund/Maxis et al have
a lot more resources to bring to bear than I do.
