contract bridge
Bidding card game
Contract bridge is the standard modern form of bridge, a trick-taking card game for four players in two partnerships.
Unlike earlier forms, only tricks bid and won count toward game—hence "contract," the commitment to take a specific number of tricks.
The game involves bidding, play, and scoring phases, with considerable strategic depth: They play contract bridge every Tuesday night.
