The Basics Of Winning Bridge, 3rd EditionThis easy-to-read primer shows, step by step, all the information needed for beginning players to sit down and play bridge in just one quick and easy reading. From going over the rules of play, correct bidding techniques and scoring standards, to an in-depth look at opening bids and responses, players learn how to make bridge a more fun and challenging game. An estimated 70 million people play the game either socially or in tournaments held regularly in small towns and larger cities.
