I wonder what it would be like to have a BINGO tournament with N/S a 2-person partnership (both people and best hand at the table held by one of the partners), and E/W bots.
And whole 'nother idea: four person (two partnerships) BINGO. That will weed out the slow players...

Doesn't seem very interesting to me...part of the challenge of the bingo with 3 robots is getting the robot to stop in the contract you want it to.
With 2 players you just bid and pass...now that isn't very challenging at all!
With 4 players there would have to be some severe punishments for getting set by so much...else I will just sacrifice over anything I feel has a chance to make.

More interesting might be a form of BINGO with humans in South and West seats, with the best hand randomly assigned to one of them, and each with their own bingo cards. So you're each trying to get your own bot partner to stop, but you're also competing against each other.

OK -- four humans; for every 500-point set, you lose one of your squares.
Or, for a set greater than (what?), opps get to mark a square as if they'd made their last bid contract.
Fun fights over which of the pair gets to set the blot!

There you go -- that could be fun. Probably swapping the human's relative positions
after each hand; it might be too much of an advantage to always sit to the left of
your human.
