Bridge Rules
Objective
Bridge is a trick-taking card game played by four players in two competing partnerships. The goal is to score points by winning "tricks."
1. The Deal
A standard 52-card deck is dealt, with each player receiving 13 cards.
2. The Bidding (or Auction)
Players bid to determine the "contract." The contract is a declaration that they will win a certain number of tricks (more than 6) with a specific suit as "trumps" (or with no trumps).
A bid consists of a number (1-7) and a suit (♣, ♦, ♥, ♠) or No Trump (NT).
The number represents the tricks to be won *in addition to* 6. So a bid of "1♥" is a contract to win at least 7 tricks with Hearts as trumps.
Each bid must be higher than the previous one. Suit ranking is: ♣ (lowest), ♦, ♥, ♠, NT (highest).
The bidding ends when three players in a row pass.
3. The Play
The partnership that won the bidding becomes the "declarer."
The player to the declarer's left plays the first card (the "lead").
Players must follow suit if they can. If not, they can play any card.
The highest card of the suit led wins the trick, unless a trump is played, in which case the highest trump card wins.
