Is my “partner” nice?

Sure thing! All competitors sit South and play with three robots at the table. Our robots, called GIB, are very polite and patient: they wait for you to think about your play and will hang around if you need to leave the table for a while. 

How do GIB robots bid?

GIBs play a relatively simple 2/1 bidding system. A meaning is provided with all bids. If a robot bid is not clear, just click on it to get more info. Click here for the GIB System Notes.
