Bridge – The Game
Bridge has often been called the world’s most challenging mental sport utilizing a combination of skill, communication and infinite possibilities.  At its most basic, bridge is a game of partnership using a standard deck of 52 cards dealt equally among four players. The players bid in a coded language to describe their hands to their partners and then play to make their contract. Generally, one suit is determined as “trump,” leading to the expression, “Play your trump card.”

HISTORY

The game of bridge traces its origins to the British game of whist, first played in the 16th century. It may be named for the Galata Bridge in Istanbul, which British soldiers crossed during the Crimean War of the 19th century to reach a coffeehouse where they played cards.
