The deck consists of 52 cards across four suits with clear ranking from spades (highest) to clubs (lowest). During bidding, players state the number of tricks they intend to win using a chosen trump suit or no trumps, with bids needing to increase. After the auction, the opening lead begins play, partners reveal the dummy, and scoring depends on contracts and the success of the partnership’s trick-taking.","INTRODUCTION  \nBridge is a game of logic where two partnerships play against each other in two steps:  \n1) the bidding-players make bids to show each other the value of their hands-how many tricks their 2 hands will take, and  \n2) card play.  \nTHE CARDS.  \nThe deck you will use consists of 52 cards which breaks down into four suits. The suits are ranked in the following order:  \n􀀁 Spades  \n􀀂 Hearts  \n􀀃 Diamonds  \n􀀄 Clubs  \nThe spade suit is the highest and the club suit is the lowest. In each suit are the honour cards AKQJ10 and then the lower rank cards ranging from 9 to the 2. The 2 is the lowest card and the Ace the highest.  \nTRUMPS  \nThe \"trump\" suit is decided during the bidding-a trump beats any other card. It can be played when you have no more cards in the suit led and will win the trick. When more than one trump is played the highest wins.  \nSTEPS IN THE GAME OF BRIDGE.  \n1) Deal  \n2) The Bidding Period (Auction)  \nAs soon as all cards are distributed, each player picks up his hand and arranges it according to suits (spades altogether, hearts altogether, etc. )  \nDealer makes the first bid and then his left hand opponent makes his bid and so on, rotating around the table in a clockwise movement.  \nAfter the opening bid the bidding continues until three consecutive passes. You may bid again after having passed  \nA bid is an undertaking to win the stated number of. tricks plus six with the chosen suit as trumps. You can bid fro m 1 to 7 in any suit or No Trumps. The minimum number of tricks which you can contract for is seven. A bid of 1 club contracts to make 7 tricks with clubs as trumps. A bid of 2 clubs contracts to take 8 tricks in clubs. A bid of 5 clubs contracts to take 11 tricks in clubs.  \nEach bid must higher than the previous bid. This can be done by bidding for more tricks or by bidding for the same number of tricks in a higher-ranking suit. (Suit rank: NT, Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs) . In other words, any player at his turn can make a higher bid. A bid is higher thana previous bid if it is larger in number than the previous bid (eg. 3 clubs is higher than 2 hearts) or if it is the same number but in a higher rank (1 heart is higher than 1 club) .  \nThe Declarer is the player who first bids the trump suit or NT from the partnership that wins the contract. Declarer plays both partnership hands.  \n3) OPENING LEAD,  \nThe player on declarer's left makes an opening lead the first card to be played.  \n4) REVEALING THE DUMMY. The partner of the declarer places his hand face up on the table.  \n5) THE PLAY PERIOD  \nOne card played from each hand constitutes a trick. When all cards are played 13 tricks will have been played. The player who plays the highest-ranking card of the suit led wins the trick. You must follow suit when possible. If you cannot follow suit, you can play any other card, e.g. if the king of spades is led, the ace of clubs will not win the trick (unless clubs are trumps) .  \nCard play aim, is to make your contract or to stop the opposition making theirs. As declarer, play on your long suits, counting your hand and dummy.  \n6) SCORING  \nBriefly, the first six tricks do not count. The score for the seventh and subsequent trick depends upon which suit is trumps.  \n􀀅 30 points in spades and hearts (major suits)  \n􀀅 20 points in diamonds and clubs (minor suits)  \n􀀅 30 points in no trumps, plus 10 points bonus for no trumps  \nIn addition to the trick score you also get a bonus of 50 points for making the contract, known asthe part score bonus. There is also a game and slam bonus you will hear about in later lessons.  \nBIDDING.  \nThe aim in the bidding is to win the contract and to bid the full extent of your hands.  \nThe first bid (not a pass) at the table is known as the opening bid-bid your longest suit or NT if you do not have a long suit.  \nThe opener's partner's (known as the responder) first move will be to agree with partner on a trump suit-called FINDING A FIT-very important.
