What is MiniBridge?

Minibridge is a simplified version of the game of Bridge and is basically Bridge without the bidding.
It can be a useful starting point, particularly for children.
The following is a brief description of how it is played but for fuller information follow the link below to the EBU learning area

To decide who is going to play the contract, you add up your points in the usual way and the partnership with the higher total wins the contract, the player with the higher total in this pair becoming Declarer.
At this point dummy goes down and Declarer decides on the contract, which suit or no-trumps, game or part-score.
Game contracts are 9, 10 or 11 tricks in no trumps, a major or a minor respectively, and part-score is any 7+ tricks below game. Scoring is just as in normal bridge, non-vulnerable.
The only difference in the play is that the opening lead is made after Dummy has been faced.
There are quite a few more points that need to be appreciated about how the game works.
