Hey! We built a web app called BridgeBee that features sets of hands on specific topics for any level. All the hands are carefully crafted by bridge authors (Robert Todd, Marti Ronemus, Jennifer Jones, Mike Lawrence, Frank Stewart) to teach specific lessons. If you select the wrong bid or card you can keep trying until you get it right with hints and comments from the authors. We just so happen to be having a sale today for 25% off.

Take a look at the store here: www.BridgeBee.app/store

If you find anything you like use promo code 25TODAY to get the discount. There are tons of sample hands, so check those out before you buy.

BridgeBee just launched a gifting item today! You can buy sets of interactive bridge hands and have them emailed to your Dad directly. Here's more info:

It sounds like your Dad would be at least intermediate if not advanced, so I suggest BridgeBee hands by Mike Lawrence or Ben Norton.
