Bridge Essentials: No. of players: 4 Playing time: 30 minutes Age: 10 + Bridge - Rules of Play says: Bridge is a standard deck, trick taking card game that pits two partnerships ag ainst each other. The first part of the game is the auction, by which partners attempt to communicate information about their hands by bidding, in order to arrive at a successful contract. The contract specifies how many tricks must be taken by the team that wins the bid. After the auction, a member of the team that won the bid tries to win as many tricks as possible while playing both hands from the partnership. One hand is played normally while the other (the "dummy hand") is placed face-up on the table, allowing for greater control. The defenders attempt to take enough tricks to make the contract fail.
