Imagine you’re at a lively bridge party, surrounded by friends, snacks, and maybe even a little wine. How do you keep track of who’s playing with whom, and where they’re headed next? A bridge tally is the answer.

The game of bridge is not hard to learn. You can learn the mechanics in a single night of card play. Then, with a few notes and some friendly teachers, you will learn more and become a better player every time you sit at the bridge table.

Duplicate bridge is a form of bridge where all players in the game play the same deal, or bridge hand. The  result of play on a hand is compared to the results of everyone else’s play on that hand and a score is given.
