BRIDGE: BEGINNERS (X250)

X – Extracurricular

Each student deals cards and learns to play and bid with a partner, with partners rotated around the table so players can experience different playing styles. We cover only basic bridge, so students can leave class and play at home. It is recommended that students have prior experience playing card games that involve “trick” taking, and understand the hierarchy of a deck of cards, i.e., aces higher than kings, kings higher than queens, etc.

Request for regular attendance — Bridge is a partnership game; therefore the success of the class depends on regular attendance, which ensures that all participants have a bridge partner each time we hold class. If participants are not able to commit to regular attendance for 5 weeks, they may want to consider attending bridge class during another semester.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
