Illustrations or card suits have color. Contract bridge, or simply bridge, is a trick-taking game using a standard 52-card deck. It is played by four players in two competing partnerships, [1] with partners sitting opposite each other around a table. [2] Millions of people play bridge worldwide in clubs, tournaments, online and with friends at home, making it one of the world's most popular card games, particularly among seniors. [3][4] The World Bridge Federation is the governing body for international competitive bridge. The game consists of several deals[5] each progressing through four phases: dealing the cards, the auction (also referred to as bidding), playing the cards, and scoring the results. [6] However, most club and tournament play involves some variant of duplicate bridge, where the cards are not re-dealt on each occasion, the same deal being played by two or more different sets of players to enable comparative scoring.
