Review by Tim Bourke:
Three people can play this variant of Contract Bridge.  Four hands are dealt. The dealer then turns up six cards of the dummy hand opposite him. The three players bid. High bidder becomes the declarer and after the opening lead (by the player on the declarer's left) the declarer turns up the rest of the dummy and places it opposite him. Play proceeds as in Bridge. While Contract Bridge scoring may be used, but most players use special scoring in which down three, vulnerable, and doubled counts 1,000 (called a Towie). A separate scoring column is used for each player. If the declarer makes the contract, he scores the trick score plus 500 points for the game and 1,000 for the second (rubber) game. If the declarer is defeated, the other two players score the undertrick penalties. (US Playing Card Company.) Also, Huske may have written a booklet called "Advanced Towie" circa 1940.
