Express Bridge Complete

Express Bridge Complete is a large print book teaching the game of Express Bridge.

Express Bridge is a training version of contract bridge using simple no-bid contracts. It is the easiest way to learn, play, and master the basics of contract bridge. It's everything standard bridge is — minus the bidding.

Simply put, Express Bridge doesn't require memorizing (and recalling) complex bids like standard bridge does. Two partners who have never met before can begin playing Express Bridge right away. No mysterious bidding codes required. So it's great for singles, particularly single seniors.

Express Bridge Complete, as the name indicates, fully explains how to play the game. After a brief introduction, the book is divided into six logical chapters:
Chapter 1. Deal the CardsChapter 2. Announce Your HCPChapter 3. Call Pass or PlayChapter 4. Declare Your ContractChapter 5. Take Your TricksChapter 6. Score the Result
The book also has five appendices with additional material.
Appendix 1: The History of BridgeAppendix 2: Hand Evaluation - 201Appendix 3: Hattersley Point CountAppendix 4: Hand PatternsAppendix 5: A Few Extras
"Express Bridge is to standard bridge what pickleball is to tennis."
