Book excerpt: Excerpt from Auction Bridge: Explained in a Simple Practical Way Two packs of cards, with different colored backs, are usually employed. While the dealer is dealing one pack, his partner shuf es the other for the next deal, placing it, when shuf ed, on his right and to the next dealer's left. The next dealer is the player on the first dealer's left. Both the dealer and the dealing rotate to the left. After the cards have all been dealt, the game is opened by the dealer making a declaration. As there are thirteen tricks in every deal, the game is to take as many of the thirteen tricks as possible. The first six tricks do not enter into either the bid ding or the count of the number taken. Only the seventh and all additional tricks are counted as part of the bid. The players bid in turn, contract ing to make a certain number of tricks in excess of six, either with a certain suit as trumps, or with no trump at all. In playing to a trick, each person in turn must, if possible, play the same suit as the one led. The player who plays the highest of that suit wins the trick, and then leads any card he pleases for the next trick. If a player has none of the suit led he may play any card of any other suit. If the card he plays is of the trump suit, he will take the trick with that, provided no player after him plays a higher trump. In other words, the trump suit is higher than any other suit, but it may be played only when the player has none of the suit led, or when trumps have been led, or when he decides to take the trick with a trump. A player who ha none of the suit led may use his own judgment as to whether to play a trump or discard a worthless card in some other suit. In a game with trumps, however, all the suits are of edual value, and the highest card of the suit led wins each trick in turn.
