First and foremost, you have to be familiar with the game of Bridge and what it is all about. Bridge or Contract Bridge is a trick-taking card game that uses the standard 52-card deck without the joker. Mainly, four players that will compete as two partnerships (North-South and East-West) can play the game. They will also sit opposite each other around the table. Each partnership aims to win or take plenty of tricks as possible.

In http://iatwe.com/members/rocketcone52/activity/11746/ , each player is dealt with 13 cards. Starting a trick takes place when a player leads or plays the first card. Additionally, the game consists of three parts, including auction or bidding, playing, and scoring.

It is called auction or bidding once four players bid in a clockwise rotation and describe their hands. Bidding is the language of the game, so when you play Bridge, it will pass on the information regarding the strengths and weaknesses of each player’s hand to his partner. When it’s the player’s moment to call, he can either pass but he can also enter the bidding later in the game, or bid a contract at a specified level. A play happens when the side that wins the bidding/auction will try to take tricks that will be necessary to conclude their contract. The player from the declaring side gets to be the declarer if he first bid the denomination named in the final contract. Lastly, the scoring at the end of the hand awards the points to the declaring side if they make the contact, otherwise, the defenders will instead receive the points. However, a partnership is at risk of vulnerability because either it can increase the rewards when the contract is made or increase also the penalties in case of undertricks.
