How the Game Is Played HE game of Auction Bridge Is ate catppnns = Q a Q Hoyle, a Jr.) DISCOVERED AMERICA deck of 52 playing cards. There are 13 cards of each of four suits, spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. The Ace is the highest, the King next, then Queen, Jack, 10, 9, etc, the 2 or deuce being the lowest. The persons sitting opposite each other at the table are partners, so that the game is a con test between two LWoO persons on a side, ‘artners are commonly chosen by drawing or cutting, as it is called. Each person picks up a card from the pack which has been spread face down. and the two drawing the high- est cards play together as partners, while the two drawing lowest cards play against them. If cards of equal value of different suits are drawn, the one of the higher suit (as given later) is considered the higher. The one drawing the highest card is the dealer. The cards are shuffled and then the person at the right of the dealer cuts them. The dealer then deals out all of the cards one at a time, beginning with the person at his left. After dealing, the bidding or auc tion for the privilege of naming the trump begins. The dealer has the first bid and then each in turn to- wards the left. The game is played with any suit as trump or without any trump, called no trump. As each player holds 13 cards there are 13 tricks. The first six taken by the side winning the bid constitute a book, and each trick after the counts a certain amount towards game, which requires 30 trick points. Each such trick after the book count 10 in no trumps; 9 if spades are trump; 8 for hearts; 7 for diamonds, and 6 for clubs. Spades and hearts are called major while dia- monds and clubs are the minor, The manner of the auction is to de- clare how many tricks beyond the book, called “odd” tricks, the bidder will contract to take. Thus the first one to bid may say one hegrt, which means that his side must take seven tricks (one odd) with hearts as trump. The second bid must be great- er than the one already made; thus If one heart has been bid the next one must say one spade or one no trump or two of either diamonds or clubs If any player does not have a hand which he considers worth a bid he may pass, and the person at his left then bids or passes. The auction continues until three players have passed after any bid and then the last bid stands and the last bidder or his partner plays the hand as declarer at his chosen trump. If both partners bid in the same suit, the one naming that suit first plays the band. If all four players pass with out any bid having been made, the hand is thrown down and the next per son deals. After the auction is finished and the trump and declarer determined, the play begins. The player at the left of the declarer leads one card for the first trick. Immediately after this {éad the partner of the declares spreads his cards on the table face up, with the cards sorted suits and the trump suit preferably at the right. The declarer plays both hands while his partner (called takes no part in the play. Ea h play er now plays to the first trick in tur; towards the left. Fach one must play a card of the suit led if he holds one, but in case he holds none of that suit he mas play any card from his band. The one playing the highest card on » trick wins it, unless it is a sult declaration, and one player having pone of the suit led has trumped the trick, in which case the one who has trumped wins, ‘he one winning the trick gathers the four cards and places them face down in front of him and leads to the next trick. This is continued until the 13 tricks have been gathered and turned.
