ArtK78 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I have seen the Bridge category come up on a few occasions. Sometimes one of the contestants is a bridge player and he runs the category. None of the questions are difficult for anyone who plays at a rudimentary level or higher, but it would be like speaking a foreign language for someone with no knowledge of the game.

ggwhiz Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 From what sailoranch tells me, every answer in the category was questioned correctly. Not quite. For What do you call a suit with only 1 card in it, nobody buzzed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellSpyder Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 The question states....I made the last bid, so I am the declarer....that is incorrect...surprised that got throughMight make an interesting variant for a bridge party, though...

sfi Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 That's not unheard of in the bridge family of card games. 500 is one such example that remains popular in Australia, where the last person to bid the suit gets to pick up the kitty and lead to the first trick. Another variation, seen in the American game Rook, is for the "declarer" to be determined by bidding to make a higher score than others. The declarer picks up the kitty and only then names trumps. These sorts of games require certain cards to have values when captured, rather than the tricks themselves being the important component. Or if you want something to do your head in at a party, try Egdirb. Cosmetically you just reverse everything compared to bridge - aces are low and deuces are high, bidding is counterclockwise, and clubs and diamonds are the majors, but NT is still highest. But the interesting gameplay element is that when you win a trick in one hand you lead from the other hand. So you can't set up and run a suit in the same way. Don't do it between sessions of bridge though, unless you don't care about the first couple of hands of the next session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
