Bridge is a card game in which four people play together with each pair being partners. There is bidding, matching of suits, scoring, etc. there are even Bridge clubs in which people move around the room and switch partners. Bridge is a fun game and takes a lot of concentration, but it is worth learning how to play. Read Goren's Rules for Bridge.
