What do you need to be able to learn and play Bridge?
My answer to this question is:
Willingness to Think & the Ability to Count up to Thirteen… Let me elaborate –
This game played with 52 playing cards, is largely based on logic and analysis. It requires memorising things. Logical reasoning and analytical ability means THINKING. If you like thinking and reaching some conclusions, then this is the perfect game for you! If you enjoy this process, then nothing like it. However, if thinking is a burden, undesirable for anyone, then it’s not easy to learn and enjoy playing bridge!
‘Counting up to 13’ may sound trivial but that’s all one needs to do again and again while playing this game. 13 cards per each of the four suits and 13 tricks to be played – this traditionally unlucky number 13 is the most important and auspicious number for a bridge player!
There you go then – have a deck of 52 cards and put your thinking cap on and start learning BRIDGE.
Welcome to the world of Bridge!
