Bridge
Contract Bridge with rubber scoring, partnerships, bidding auction, and declarer-dummy trick play.
Auction and Contracts
Four players in two fixed partnerships (North-South vs East-West). Each player receives 13 cards.
- Auction: Players bid level (1-7) and strain (Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades, or No Trump). Bids must exceed the previous bid in rank or level.
- Double & Redouble: Players can Double an opponent's contract or Redouble a doubled contract.
- The contract is established after three consecutive Passes. The partner who first named the strain becomes Declarer.
Trick Play and Rubber Scoring
The player to Declarer's left makes the opening lead. Declarer's partner's hand is laid on the table as Dummy and played by Declarer.
- Players must follow suit if able. Trumps beat non-trump suits.
- Rubber Scoring: Making contracts score trick points toward game (100 points below the line). The first partnership to win two games wins the rubber, earning a 500 or 700 point bonus.
