Yes, but bridge is not a game of chance, nor is it a gambler's game. Some folks just use the game as a tool for socializing. Others play it competitively at local, national, and international levels.
Teachers use it as a way to help students learn logic, deduction, mathmatics, and teamwork.
It can also be used to teach statistics and probability theory. Yes, but that is not necessary. We have many players whose religious beliefs preclude most card games but allow contract bridge, as long as it is not played for financial gain. Ours is a wonderful passtime, and we hope you will enjoy it. Click on any of the subjects at the top for more information.
