Overview

Bridge, a popular card game, is played by two partnerships of two players using a regular deck of 52 cards. To win, players must place bids and then complete the agreements they made during the game's bidding phase to earn points. Bidding and playing are the two fundamental components of the game. During the bidding phase, players reveal the strength of their hands to their partners by placing bids for the amount of tricks they expect to win in a certain suit or in no trump. The goal of the bidding is to establish the contract, which determines the trump suit or whether a no-trump contract will be used to play the hand. The player who bids the most becomes declarer, and their partner takes on the role of dummy, revealing their hand to the other players. The play begins after the bidding, and the declarer tries to complete their contract by taking tricks with the help of their partner. Each player in clockwise sequence plays a card, with the obligation to follow suit if they can. The player with the highest card of the suit led takes the trick. The player who takes the trick leads the following round. The objective of the defenders is to prevent the declarer from winning the number of tricks required under the contract, while the objective of the declarer is to win as many tricks as possible. Bridge is a game that requires a high level of skill and strategy, as well as close communication and cooperation between players. Planning ahead, keeping track of your cards, and making calculated bids are all crucial to your success. The game is played all around the world, for both fun and competition, with many different types of clubs and competitions available.
