The club welcomes visitors and accepts players without a partner.<\/p>\n Le modern bridge is descended from 16th-century English whist<\/strong>. Its current form, \u00abcontract bridge\u00bb, was developed in the 1920s. The game quickly spread around the world and became a recognised sport.<\/p>\n Bridge is played by four players in two teams<\/strong> two partners facing each other. A classic 52-card deck is used. The aim is to carry out the number of lifts<\/strong> announced at the auction.<\/p>\n A game is divided into several phases:<\/p>\n Auctions<\/strong> Each player, in turn, can either pass or announce a contract (number of tricks + trump or no-trump suit). The team that wins the auction must make at least the number of tricks announced.<\/p>\n The card game<\/strong> The player to declarer's left opens. His partner spreads his cards (\u00abdead\u00bb) and the declarer plays for both of them. Each player must follow the requested suit if they can.<\/p>\n The countdown<\/strong> Points awarded according to the success or failure of the contract, with bonuses and penalties.<\/p>\n A standard game lasts between 2 and 3 hours. In tournaments, we generally play pre-distributed \u00abdeals\u00bb to ensure fairness between the tables.<\/p>\n Bridge is a natural part of Meg\u00e8ve's cultural offering. This intellectual activity<\/strong> is the perfect complement to mountain leisure activities, offering visitors a quiet alternative<\/strong> between physical activities such as fatbike<\/a>, climbing<\/a> or the many walks.<\/p>\n The game requires concentration, memory and team spirit<\/strong>, This makes it an ideal activity for groups of friends or families who want to spend time together around a table.<\/p>\n Whether you're an experienced player or a curious beginner, the Meg\u00e8ve Bridge Club and the services of Chalet Ararat will enable you to practise your passion in excellent conditions, in the heart of the French Alps.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Would you like to learn, improve or play Bridge with friends?
