I don't really play Bridge, but I've observed that the bidding process reveals considerable information about what is in each player's hands. A MC program for bridge would tailor distributions to incorporate this information. Bridge players, I am told, are required to announce and stick to a particular bidding strategy, so both their partner and their opponents can glean the same information from the bidding history.
In Tichu, there seem to be bids ( Tichu and Grand Tichu ) which also reveal something about the bidder's hands.
