Bridge is a game divided into 2 phases: bidding and card play. The purpose of this game is to bid a contract and to fulfill or unfulfill the contract depending on which side you are on.
-
Players and Cards
Four players are needed to start a game. Each player will start off with a hand of 13 cards. There is also an ordering of suits only during the bidding phase - from high to low: no trumps, spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs.
-
Bidding phase
Player can choose to make a bid or pass during his/her turn. A bid consists of a level, 1 to 7, and a suit. The suit represents the trump suit which will be explained during card play. A bid must always be larger than the previous bid. After winning the bid, you will get to choose a partner card.
-
Card play
Similiar to Hearts, cards are played one at a time. While winning as many sets as possible is your objective, take note of a few special rules in Bridge.
-
Skill
-
Snoop
Be sneaky and take a quick look at a random card in opponent's hand!
-
Uncover Card
Uncover a random card for all to see from an opponent's hand.
-
Fog Card
Discard a card that will baffle your opponents by only revealing its suit.
-
Winning Condition
If you are the declarer (player who makes the contract), or the one holding the card shown in the partner card, the total score of this partnership should be at least 6 plus the level of the bid. For example, if your contract is 3 Spade, your partner and you need to win at least 9 sets combined to win the game.
If not, you must prevent the partnership from reaching the winning condition above, and thus required to win at least 8 minus the level of the bid.
