The game options are set to 4 minimum team for each team, no Nil bids are present and overbooks for every hand and the winning score to 500 (which only I could load and read after doing an inexcusable blunder with thinking 250 as winning score as these games are being usually played). Other misc. rules include the Boston bid and 10 for 200: this website gives the bonus for the exact tricks taken or more than bid.
Notice the difference of bidding aggression throughout the game. I stretched almost all of my bids until the scores of the two teams are comparable to each other. Playing the usual game with rigid personality to give all bags won't make miracles from awkward positions like a scorecard of 16 to 305 for their team.
I bet at least 3 from 4 of average players will tell, "Gwenny, you got all the cards!". The fact I was dealt some great hands is very true. But how many of the average players will use this to take the game flow into their hands? From the first full hand I played, I realized both pones are good lovers of bags, so I didn't take my step back to bid them all. Many players won't care about potential free points and that's only what it needs along with some piece of luck (it's with you when you heartily take chances) to make your opponents stare at you.
