Bridge is one of the most popular card games of all time. In the beginner course we teach people how to play a good basic game of bridge. We start right from the beginning so it doesn’t matter if you know nothing about cards.

You learn bridge more by play than theory, so we also include three practice sessions during the course, on a different day from the lessons. These sessions are a useful part of the learning process; no one becomes good at bridge without practice.

By the end of the course you will know all the important basics of bridge. Then you will be ready to take your place in a friendly novice game where you can have some fun and enjoy using your new skills as you consolidate your game.

You always have a partner when you play bridge. You and your partner sit down opposite each other against another partnership. Then you try to score as many points as you can, so the big question is, how do you score points? The answer is by winning tricks. A trick is a combination of four cards, one from each of the four players.

Here is a short video to get you started on the very basics of the game. You can see it here.
