Details

Originally invented in 1936 in the United States, this game was introduced in a Dutch version in 1938. There is also a version without the imprint "Popular". With this game you can play bridge alone against 3, by the game board automated ("flawless") fellow and opponents. Included was a set of cards that had to be put into play. Each map had a certain level of difficulty. The game was sold at the end of the 1930s for about NLG 3.50. After the war, the game resurfaced from around 1954, but presumably it only concerns imported English-language types. In 1991 Tirion launched the Solobridge game in the Netherlands for a price of f39.50. This was a smaller pocket version of Autobridge, developed by Cees Sint and Ton Schipperheyn. Solobridge is still being sold in various versions.
