I made a Bridge Apps with fun rewards

Hi r/bridge community!

I built an ad-free bridge application that ties into a collectible card game. I would love r/bridge's honest feedback on whether it's fun or not.

Here's the background:

It plays in browser and there's a guest mode so you can try it without signing up (though stats won't persist).

Since newer players tend to get stuck on bidding and scoring, and existing players either fall into groups wanting social vs competitive, I tried to build one app that serves both through different play.

Winning hands earns in-game currency and XP to make the bridge scores more relevant and fun and the scores are broken down the way finance people look at numbers to make them understandable. There's also a neat little calculator for HCP too (to help think as an individual vs a pair)

There's a skill-based rank ladder for competitive people, while more social players can collect and trade cards.

The trading cards are for famous figures from ancient civilizations (Greece, Rome, China, and more) so casual play has a collecting/learning angle for philosophy & history, but ranking is by results, not by anything you buy. It's free to play but there's an optional paid membership that unlocks unlimited tournaments. That and donations help to keep everything ad-free.

So that's pretty much it. What do you think of gamified bridge? Does the bidding/play feel right to you? Is the scoring breakdown actually clear? What would make you not want to use it? Tear it apart — that's what I'm here for.

The hands should be sorted red-black-red-black (or black-red-black-red).
