Bridge is a card game enjoyed by tens of millions of people who like social interaction as well as mental challenges. Bridge involves both bidding (competing for the right to select a master suit) and playing (one card at a time played by each of the four players). The Bridge Basics series (BB1,2,&3) explores a progression in playing skills designed to take neophytes (never played bridge before) to confident social bridge aficionados. Participants receive some instruction and play two or more sample hands (followed by detailed analysis of the hand) at every meeting. Bridge Basics 1 (BB1) introduces the participant to Standard American Yellow Card (SAYC), the most common American bidding convention framework, and provides instruction in the structure of the game, basic hand evaluation, opening suit bids, overcalls, competitive bidding, and play of the hand. BB1 is appropriate for neophytes or beginners who want to relearn the basics.
