New deck: Duplicate Cards ® SLAM: Many players find it difficult to bid and make slam. The reason is that you do not often have the opportunity to be in the slam zone, hence the tools may not be the right to reach the best contract. Duplicate Cards Slam is a deck with only slam decisions. On all 48 deals the pairs has to decide to bid small or grand slam, but sometimes it is important to pull the handbrake and stop before you get too high, i.e. stop in game!
