    Minibridge

    From wikipedia.org, the free encyclopedia.

    Minibridge is a simplified form of the complex card game contract bridge designed to help newcomers and children learn the game.

    Like Bridge, Minibridge consists of four players, who play opposite and with their partner. Each player is dealt thirteen cards.

    The auction process is more simple than bridge. Each player counts the number of high card points he has (4 for an Ace, 3 for a King, 2 for a Queen and 1 for a Jack) and states the number of high card points. The partnership with the more high card points then has to play the hand. (If both partnerships have the same number of high card points, the hand is thrown in.) Of this partnership, the partner with the more high card points becomes the declarer. The partner with the fewer high card points becomes the dummy and lays out his hand. (If both partners have the same number of high card points, the one who states his high card point count first is the declarer.)

    The declarer then looks at his partner's hand and decides what suit he wants to be trumps (if any), and whether to be in game or to take part score. In part score he must make 7 tricks, and in game he must make 6 tricks (assumed) plus 3 for no trumps, 4 for a major suit or 5 for a minor suit.

    The game then continues per bridge with 13 rounds of cards.

    The scoring system is also simplified.
