The Bridge Table

For those who play a little bridge, but not very well. Learn modern bidding and play of the hand strategy. Pre-requisite: Any beginner bridge class or equivalent experience. Choose daytime traditional lessons or our new evening Play & Learn Newplicate. 

Traditional-style

Each week, you’ll learn a bidding strategy. Then play four or five deals to practice the new concept. After each deal, all the cards will be turned up and the bidding, play and defense will be reviewed while it’s still fresh.
