How to create your own convention card
RoboBridge allows you to use pre-defined convention cards or to create your own, fully customized, convention card.
This page describes how to choose an existing convention card and how to create your own.


The convention cards can be accessed through the Options menu item. In this dialog you can set the convention card you and your partner will use as well as the convention card your opponents must use. As seen in these sample screens, your opponents can use a different convention card from the one you and your partner use.

















To fully customize convention cards, click the Customize convention cards button. 














Create your own convention card by following these steps:
1. Specify the name of your card (e.g. MyCard, MyAcol).
2. Choose a base card.
3. Click the Create button.

There are several base cards to choose from. The main difference between these cards is the way they deal with 4-cards in the major suits.
