Bridge is by far the most complex card game I've ever played, but it also has one of the most rich formats for competitive play in Duplicate Bridge.

This app features unlimited deals without paywalls or ads, and tracks your rankings and stats over time so you can watch yourself improve.

It sounds a little mysterious, especially since you have to sign up. Maybe you should explain more clearly on the page what users can expect.

That's good feedback. Would it help if the sign up process happened after the welcome tour?

I've just shipped a tour + much better experience for logged out users.

You can view at https://bridge.brannon.online (logout via stats if you need to).

Thanks for the feedback!
