About Bridge
Contract Bridge is one of the world's most popular card games, known for its depth, strategy, and the partnership element. This simplified version lets you experience the core mechanics of bidding and trick-taking against AI opponents.
In Bridge, four players in two partnerships compete. The bidding phase determines the "contract" - how many tricks the declaring side promises to win and which suit (if any) will be trumps. Then the play phase begins, with one partner's hand (the "dummy") played face-up.
This browser-based version is perfect for learning the basics of Bridge or practicing your card-playing skills without needing four people.
How to Play Bridge
Evaluate Your Hand
Count high card points: A=4, K=3, Q=2, J=1. With 12+ points, consider opening the bidding.
Bid or Pass
Bid shows tricks above 6 you can win. "2 Hearts" = 8 tricks with hearts as trumps.
Play Cards
Follow the led suit if possible. Trumps beat other suits. Highest card wins the trick.
Make Your Contract
Win at least as many tricks as you bid (plus 6) to score points!
