The Partnership Table

Bridge is a conversation with your partner, held through the bidding. Every week this sheet has the same four deals for everyone who prints it, so two tables, two families or two cities can play the same cards and talk about the difference afterwards.

Learn bidding on DealTales

This week

How to play the sheet

  1. Sort a pack into the four hands shown for deal 1. The dealer bids first.
  2. Bid and play as usual. Write down the contract and the number of tricks taken.
  3. Do the same for deals 2, 3 and 4.
  4. Swap your results with another table that played the same week. Talk about where you differed, not who won.

Points use the usual count: ace 4, king 3, queen 2, jack 1.
