Bridge is a trick-taking card game that can be played by four people in two teams of two. It is derived from whist and has different variants, such as bridge whist, auction bridge, and contract bridge. The game uses a standard 52-card deck and has two main parts: the bidding process and the game play. Bridge requires teamwork and communication with your partner across the table. It is a sport recognized by the International Olympic Committee and a source of enjoyment and intellectual challenge for its players.
