Entertaining Bridge: Social Bridge at Home

Most writers of books about Bridge seem to automatically assume that the aim of players is to join a Club and play Duplicate Bridge but many hundreds of thousands play only social Rubber Bridge; they meet in each other's houses and enjoy the friendly atmosphere, the chit-chat, all mixed with the undoubted pleasure of playing the best game in the world. Most of them have decided that they do not play a game to win nor to gain status by progressing up the Bridge ladder, they play for FUN.This book is for such people who want to learn to play Social Bridge. Its clear instructions, with examples and quizzes, will enable a novice to be able to play rudimentary bridge by Chapter 4. Bridge for two and three players is also included, because sometimes someone is unable to make up the usual four, as is a history of bridge for players who like to know the antecedents of their game. Often a snack or a meal is an integral part of social bridge. The book also includes recipes for lunch, tea and supper, which can be prepared in advance, so that the hostess does not have to jump up from the card table.
