...to see. If you have older friends, parents or grandparents, these low vision bridge cards will be appreciated! Whether they already know how to play, or they’ve never heard of the game, these bridge cards for seniors are sure to be a big hit. Bridge is a partnership game requiring four players. Each player sits opposite from their partner and everyone gets dealt 13 cards. The object in Bridge is to win tricks for your team. A trick consists of four cards, one from each player in turn. Hence, there are 13 tricks to be won on each deal. The first card played to each trick is called the lead. If the lead is a spade, everyone else must lay down a spade, unless they don’t have one. If not, a trump can be played, and the trump is higher and more powerful than any card in the suit led. The players, through bidding, decide whether the deal is to be played in notrump or in a particular trump suit. The dealer has the first chance to bid. If the dealer has some high cards in his hand and a preference for one suit over another, the dealer makes a bid to let his partner know which suit he prefers. If the dealer doesn’t have many high cards and doesn’t want to make a bid, he says “pass.” Your loved ones will have a lot of fun with these large print bridge playing cards!
