## What is Bab Online?

BAB Online brings the classic card game Back Alley Bridge to your phone. Team up with a partner and compete across 13 hands to see which duo comes out on top.

  GAMEPLAY
  - 4-player partnership trick-taking: you and your partner (seats 1 & 3 vs 2 & 4) work together to make your guess of how many tricks you'll win.
  - Submit how many tricks you think you'll take each hand, with bonus points for bold "bore" guesses and rainbow hands
  - Hand sizes progress from 12 cards down to 1, then back up to 13 — every hand plays differently
  - Trump suit, jokers, and the over-trump rule keep every trick interesting

  PLAY YOUR WAY
  - Create a game and invite friends, or fill empty seats with AI bots
  - 5 bot personalities with distinct play styles — from conservative to overconfident
  - Spectate games in progress from the main room
  - Use /lazy to let a bot take over temporarily, then /active to jump back in

  TOURNAMENTS
  - Create a tournament for any number of players across 4 rounds
  - Players are shuffled into new games each round with cumulative scoring
  - Highest total score after 4 rounds wins

  FEATURES
  - Real-time multiplayer with global chat and in-game chat
  - Automatic reconnection — background the app and pick up where you left off
  - Player profiles and leaderboard rankings
  - Works on iPhone and iPad
