Interested in learning to play Bridge?What is bridge?
The most popular card game in the world by far, it's origins can be traced back almost 400 years to the development of whist in England It was only in about 1896 that the game of bridge as we know it evolved. It took off in 1925 when an American millionaire Harold S. Vanderbilt and a group of friends went on a cruise through the Panama Canal. He basically invented slams and vulnerability and these features of the game have lasted until today.
