Description

This 6 step course is part 2 of the course and  provides you with the building blocks to help you journey your way into a world of problem solving and logically fun !   The material is new, fresh and very visual - allowing you to get a clear understanding of what it takes to become a bridge player.   Bridge is made up of 2 parts - the auction (where all players can bid) and playing (where the winners of the auction now play out the tricks they promised to make).   With a simple pack of 52 cards, we scramble our minds and center our attention to this brilliant game that requires logic and counting .   If you can count to 40 - you are almost there. If you cant count to 13 four times - your are going to be just fine !  Whether you would like to play social or club level bridge - these rules need to learnt before you start.   This course provides a wonderful platform to launch .   I would recommend watching the videos more than once, just incase you missed some of the information the first time you watch.   There is no better way to spend a rainy afternoon or an evening with friends .  Please don't give up , its really worth it .
