The basic rules of Bridge

     This week I will stop talking about the "bloody series", because the last one I think it's so amazing that I want to put off to introduce. Nonetheless, this week I will start to talk about my expertise - Bridge to let everyone know more about it.

   
     Bridge is the game played by four players, and the one who sits opposite to you will be your partner, you two have to work hard together to win the game.In Bridge, suits(花色) are   respective.There is no domination of the suits. Every player will get 13 cards before the game, and everyone has to play only one card in a round, so there are 13 rounds in a game. Each time we win the round then we say we get one "trick". We will win the game if the tricks we get exceed the condition.

     Before we start the game, we have to choose the trump(王牌) and the contract. We call this action - Bid(叫牌). Everyone can choose a trump and set the condition to win the game in turns. There are 5 kinds of trump in the bridge. Spade. heart. diamond. club and the special one "no trump"(無王). Contract means how many tricks we should get to win this game.

For example: if we say 1 Heart , it means that heart is the trump and we should get 6+1 tricks.
                    if we say 3 spade . it means the spade is the trump and we should get 6+3 tricks.

     And now, you must doubt what is the "trump". As I said before, the suits in Bridge are respective. In each round, we should play the card with the suit same as the first card. Everyone should follow this rule only when you are short of that suit, and now you only have to play the card with another suit.

ex. The trump is spade. You are short of club. The other player play the card. Club K、7 and your partner only play Club 3. You are the last one in this round. If you play heart or diamond. No matter what number you play, it will always be the smaller one in this round. Like Heart A，you can't we this round . However , if you play the trump now , no matter how small you play , you can also get this trick. Like you play the Spade 2 , even 2 is smaller than K , because it's trump , you can get the trick.

     This is the short introduction of Bridge. Hope you can enjoy it.
